Highlight every segment marked as a seam in bright green.
Menu: View > View Seams | In depth: Marking and welding seams
A checkable toggle, off by default.
A seam is an edge you have marked as scaffolding, so the tiling nodes know to dissolve it. Marked or not, it looks like any other edge, which makes a mistake hard to see.
Turn this on and every marked segment traces bright green. It is the check to run before welding: what lights up is exactly what will be dissolved.
The green is loud enough that you want it only while you are working on seams, which is why it starts off. See Mark as Seam and Weld Seams.
