 Currently we get the following message:

 "There are no widget areas currently rendered in the preview. Navigate in
 the preview to a template that makes use of a widget area in order to
 access its widgets here."

 This is not very helpful. A suggested option could be:

 "There are no widget areas on this page shown, however other sections in
 this theme have them".

 I think also actually just showing them anyway could be good. It feels
 weird to not show them and then give this message.
