View information about widgets in store preview
When we are viewing a layout in store preview, we can open the Widget Information window to get information about a specific widget used in the layout. For example, we can view the widget name, type, slot position, and property settings, and get details about the widget content. This window is useful for troubleshooting widgets if they do not display the information that you expected.In addition, the window provides Create or Edit links for the widget and its related business objects so that we can move more efficiently from store preview back to the Commerce Composer tool.
