Icon for global paragraphs base paragraph

Global paragraphs have their own icon (document with a green arrow), that makes it easy to see if a paragraph is a global paragraph from another page.

 

But their base paragraphs doesnt. That makes it hard to spot elements, who is used on other pages. You can see it, when you open the paragraph, then you get a banner saying "this is a global paragraph with 27 references etc."

 

What about giving these paragraphs an icon to make it easier to spot global paragraphs?

Hi Søren,

 

Great idea.

We've had customers delete the original paragraph by mistake. This might help prevent that.

Also, maybe and extra alert box before deleting Global paragraph masters would help even further.

 

+1 from me :)

Hi,

 

Yes that would not only be nice, but expected.

Yes and to my understanding this should have already been implemented. But it is not :(

What happened DW?
