Confusion differentiating between CET and FST
Reading some of the posts it seems others are having the same issue. From a usability stand point, there is literally no difference visually between my trees and the FamilySearch Tree.
Would it not make more sense to make the links above the line FST specific options, and the items below the line CET specific?

@aprilkiskis Thank you for feedback and desire to help improve this project. We will be tracking this enhancement as RSTI-1871.

@Robert Kehrer the problem with using the same model as other websites is that the other websites only have one type of tree. Here on FamilySearch, we now have three: FamilySearch Tree, Family Group Trees and now the CETs. While the name of the group is great, it is difficult to keep track of the different types of trees, especially when they could and likely do contain duplicate profiles.

The CET idea is so wonderful and needed. I love the idea of differentiating what tree we are on. Maybe a different colored background or bright banner or something to visually distinguish the trees?

@C.Hales The engineering team has been discussing a way to differentiate between the trees, so you can know immediately which tree you are working with. Thank you for your patience and feedback.

@mynameistk I offer this just to make sure it's not overlooked
Here are two screenshots of my Source Box after navigating there using Sources Tab [Add Source…].
The top one is from Family Tree, George W Jones. The bottom one from my CET, George W Jones
Some sort of differentiation in this case I think would also be useful.
I think I already commented on the Source Box and how things can get confusing when working with multiple trees at the same time

@Mark McKenzie_1 The engineers are actively working on a way to differentiate the trees. Thank you for offering your additional feedback. It is very helpful.
