Add an Indicator for the hidden content

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Introduce a visual indicator and count display for hidden components within containers, sections, and background elements in AEM’s page editor interface.
Use-case: Content managers need to easily identify and manage hidden components on a page during editing. This visibility is crucial for maintaining content accuracy, avoiding duplication, and ensuring that hidden elements are not unintentionally overlooked.
Current/Experienced Behavior: Hidden components are not clearly distinguishable in the AEM page editor. There is no count or visual cue indicating how many components are hidden within a container or section. Additionally, the content tree does not reflect hidden components, making it difficult to locate and manage them across different device views (desktop, tablet, mobile).
Improved/Expected Behavior:
  • Display the number of hidden components within each container, section, or background element directly in the edit mode.
  • Show hidden components explicitly in the content tree structure.
  • Ensure this functionality works independently across all responsive views (desktop, tablet, mobile).
  • Provide a toggle or filter to highlight hidden components for quick access and editing.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEM 6.5.22
Customer-name/Organization name: Veeam Software
