# Viewport Preview
September 26, 2022

**Current Limitations/Bugs**
1. Single active Viewer node
    - [x] If there are two node-groups open, only one Viewer node should have a "red" header.
2. No way to toggle an active viewer node to deactivate it.
3. [x] Instancing attributes
4. [x] Viewer node causes sculpt mode not to remove the selection outline

**Pending designs**
1. How to make a node deactive?
    * ~~Ctrl+Shift+Click on the viewer node always turns it off~~
    * [x] ctrl+shift+click into empty space
    * [x] + muting/unmuting should toggle acctive status
2. "Shows non-final geometry"
    * [x] For now, write the path together with the object.
    * [ ] colored text
3. Spreadsheet Editor bread crumbs
    * We could remove the extra information we now have in the spreadsheet with the entire context path.
4. Default opacity for viewer node
    * [x] 0.8
5. [x] Viewer Attribute Opacity -> Viewer Attribute
    View Attribute -> **Viewer Node**
7. [x] Checkbox for "Viewer Attribute"
8. Where to put the "Preview" option
    * [x] For now try the View menu
