is there a way to tell which context is the current one displayed

I am finishing an assembly that was created by another user who is new to OnShape. I am finding multiple contexts on the parts and can't tell which is the context of what is displayed on the screen ie: 3 or 4. I need to retain the current model display as I believe that is the correct design. Am I missing something?doc link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8773299a920197610d17a2e9/w/3f96a02517d16e1b54a3e447/e/612ab8189ca569db23b3b3ef

    You can see which context is active when one is, but I've never found a way to tell which one is referenced when you see a reference, which is a pain. Anybody know a way to do this? I'd expect to click the arrow that shows there's a reference to get more info or something.

    I'm being general here because your link brings me to an assembly. which part studio are you in when viewing your contexts? Then I can take a look.

    I was viewing the contexts in the assembly. The first 4 parts have multiple contexts, I think there are more. I am in the process of finding the parts as everything is named part and adding properties and names. I am going to open the part from the assembly and see if that pulls up the latest context. (made a duplicate to work on so I don't lose vital geometry)
