In an attempt to enhance the discoverability of the diverse editors available for each field type, we've just rolled out a minor visual tweak to the field editing form.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍​‍​​​‌​​​​‍‌​​​​‍​​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌​‍‍‌​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‍‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍​‌‌​‌‌‍​‌​‌​‍‌​​‌​‍​‍‌‌

Now, for all the various editor types that Dato natively offers for each field, there's a small illustration that exemplifies the final result on the content editing side:

In case a plugin that has been installed adds extra editor types, these will be shown in the user interface with a universal Plugin icon:

In future versions of the Plugin SDK we might allow customization of the illustration associated with each field editor... but one thing at a time! 😉
