Currently the 'Add new component' is only available for areas. The editor should be able to 'Add new component' after any component.

marvink2 cchard With this change the editor will be able to add a component after any selected area or component. I would say it will be added after the selected component as a default. Do you think we still need the option
I tend to say we don't need that anymore. |

Hi avongunten, I am very grateful for this improvement and also the paste component actions from 6.2.17 ! I dont think we explicitly need "add before / add after". However, for non-pro editors it might be a big confusing that the "Add component" action does different things depending on what is currently selected. Maybe it can be a separate action labelled "Add component at current position" that is only visible when a component bar is selected? Just as an idea. I saw how many hours were logged on this issue. I am happy when it can be released asap. Maybe build now, improve later |

Hi Anja, as i have the top component selected and i want to add a component before it i would need to go down to the bottom to add a component through the area actions. So from my point of view it's needed to select where i need to place the component. Thanks |
