Hi,

```
    <div class="background-overylay pg-empty-placeholder"></div>

```

When I dray elements to tree panel, pg-empty-placeholder class is automatically put.  
Can I stop that pg-empty-placeholder class is automatically put ?  
I don’t sometimes use automatically put class: pg-empty-placeholder.

Thanks.

Hi @alexseo,  
There is not a way to turn off the automatic addition. Without it empty elements would not be selectable in the Page View. Please note that as soon as you you add something into the empty element Pinegrow automatically removes the class.  
Cheers,  
Bob
