Page Editor Doesn’t Show Current or Shared Site Name in Data Source

 While working with the Page Editor, we noticed an inconsistency in how data source information is displayed compared to the Content Editor. In the Content Editor, data sources clearly indicate whether they belong to the "Current site" or a "Shared site." For example:

• Carousels (Current site)
• Carousels (Shared: Shared)
• Media carousel 1
• Data (Current site)

However, in the Page Editor, the same data sources are displayed without this distinction:

• Carousels
• Carousels
• Media carousel 1
• Data

This lack of clarity makes it challenging to differentiate between site-specific and shared data sources within the Page Editor.

Update from Sitecore

Sitecore Support confirmed that the Page Editor currently does not display the "Current site" or "Shared site" labels in the data source selection dialog, unlike the Content Editor.

To address this, Sitecore has created a Feature Request (PGS-2562) to enhance the Page Editor with similar functionality in a future update.

Next Steps

While we wait for the feature to be implemented:

1. Cross-Verify in Content Editor: Use the Content Editor to confirm the origin of data sources until this feature is available in the Page Editor.
2. Track Updates: Monitor the progress of the feature request (PGS-2562) with Sitecore Support.

This improvement will bring much-needed clarity and consistency to the Page Editor, simplifying workflows for content editors.
