I am trying to build more complex components like page sections with multiple slots. A few improvements could make them even more useful.

1. **Making content in slots clickable** like any other content element. Currently when clicking on the content within a slot, the component is selected. The only way to edit contents in slots are through the structure panel. This might be even a bug, I am not sure. Also **adding drag and drop** to and from slots to be able to rearange contents (like with any other content). Currently also only possible via structure panel.
2. **Make slot zones visible** when adding a component (with the slot name given in the component structure). Maybe this can be a toggle similar to “keep offcanvas open for styling” so that there is a way to get the component look like the output without the slot zones visible. Alternatively, a **default content**  **element/component** that is always added to the slot could be an option (the editor should be able to delete the default element though).
3. Additionally, when clicking on a slot, on the left there would be an ideal space to add a **list of preferred content elements/components** defined by the author of the component. This could guide the editor quite nicely to quickly add relevant content. One step further would be to limit the types of elements/components and/or the amount if items the editor can add here.

Here is a quick video, showing the issues:
