Hi I’m investigating if there is any possibility to show some kind of alert in page editor view if page has any smart rules.

Hey, @michalo 👋 Welcome to the community! Thanks for your question. You are not missing a documented option. I agree with you, something like this would be useful. You’ll either need to add comments to your HTML where smart rules are added. Like this (a super basic example):

```lia-code-sample
<!-- SMART RULE: This page uses a smart rule to display different content to different visitors -->

```

Or you can manually check for it.

I understand this isn’t the alert you are looking for. And I don’t want you searching for an option that doesn’t exist.

Best,

Jaycee

I wish there is hubl function or any sign in html source of the page that we can check for using JS for example.
