People got confused after reading the different region names when they tried to add a new block.

New users don’t understand that what the regions are and do not realize that there is a link called “Demonstrate block regions” on the top of the list.

The “Demonstrate block regions” should be highlighted more. The problem probably stems from the fact that new users are not yet able to name these fields in the region because other CMS systems works differently.

Change the “Demonstrate block regions” link to button. In other situations, Drupal Admin UI is using a blue for functions like this.

I added two buttons to the left side of the list because Drupal is using buttons like this everywhere else. Also changed the text to be more clear. (Now the link contains "Block regions" but in the list there is only a Regions title.)

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.
