What indication do you see on the canvas that shows where you are inserting a component?

When inserting a component onto the canvas in Appian's interface design, a pink highlight serves as the visual cue to indicate the precise location for the new component. This color is intentionally used to attract the developer's attention, clearly demonstrating where the component will be placed once it is dropped. The pink highlight appears temporarily to confirm the action prior to finalizing the insertion of the component.

In contrast, other visual indicators such as a complete interface highlight or a green highlight do not convey the same specific function in terms of component placement. Similarly, while a dashed line often indicates resizing or arrangement boundaries, it does not serve the purpose of indicating an insertion point. Overall, the pink highlight is distinct and uniquely tied to the action of positioning new components within the Appian development environment, ensuring a clear and user-friendly experience.
