About a third of the time when I add a content manager dataset to a page, I can’t find the icon anywhere on the page in order to configure it. I then add another thinking maybe it didn’t “take”, but still nothing. I have a feeling it is putting it behind some elements or something. How do I track it down? ---

After some more searching and trial and error, the following seems to work: 1. Use Ctrl-M to select each element at a time to try and find it. 2. Go out of the editor and back in. It may show up then. ---

Try going to Tools \> Layers \> [section where you have your linked content] \> select dashed square (it’s a dataset), then use keyboard arrows to move it. Most likely it will appear from out-of-the-grid zone. ---

I encountered the same problem! I found it in the layer (on the right side, there is a red exclamation point icon). Just click on it, and the dataset icon will appear! ---

have a read of this topic > [@I can't find dataset icon](https://forum.wixstudio.com/t/i-cant-find-dataset-icon/59676/5): > > Thanks again for your help. I don’t see any changes in my interface (I still can’t see the icon), but now, I’m able to change the ID of my dataset (curiously, I wasn’t able to do so until now face_with_spiral_eyes)
