Comment:

 Actually, I think this ticket and #27406 are complimentary. Widget areas
 not rendered at the currently-previewed URL could either be hidden
 altogether (as they are now) or they can be shown but faded out (as
 unrendered widgets are now). Additionally, a widget area may very well be
 used in a template (it has a `dynamic_sidebar()` call) but all of the
 widgets inside of it may be hidden due to Widget Visibility rules; in this
 case, it would be also useful for the widget area to be marked in a way
 that indicates you can't currently see the widget area in the preview as
 currently-configured.

 Also as mentioned on #27406:

 > There could also be a checkbox/button to toggle between showing only the
 widget areas currently used in the previewed URL, or to show all of the
 widget areas regardless but with some additional indicator
