Bubble elements category [Visual Element vs input form]

Plugin builders
1

Hi,

I’m building a Bubble plugin for a customer.
Under General properties in the Elements section, there’s a dropdown where I can choose between Visual Element and Input Form.

Can you clarify the difference between these two options?
The Bubble documentation doesn’t provide much detail on this: Building Elements | Bubble Docs

Thanks!

The Category simply refers to where the plugin element will appear in the sidebar of the Bubble editor UI…

And BTW, I’ve always felt the label “Input forms” is backward. IMO, “Form inputs” would make more sense - i.e. the element is an input designed to be used in the context of a form. (It’s just a Bubble nomenclature quirk.)
