When clicking elsewhere on canvas, deselect: currently selected
Hi Austin, can you explain which is your issue with a selected component? I've seen a lot of builders with the same behavior so honestly, I don't see it as a problem. By the way, I think you could implement something on your own, with editor.select() you deselect the component
Read full answer below βQuestion
Currently, once a user selects any element, there's no way to deselect that element.
For example, if I'm editing a photo, but I want to "stop editing" the photo, there's no way to remove the selection from the photo (clicking on a non-editable element or the page background).
editor.select( null );
