Suggestion for clarity when displaying resources on web site
One of the things that has always been very confusing is, what have I preordered on prepub when there are "nested" bundles being developed. This is the problem specifically:
"Master Journal Bundle 5.0" is now available - I preorder it. It shows as gray, already preordered, if it shows up in a list.
But "Master Journal Bundle 5.0" includes 10 other sub-bundles that comprise it - also showing on prepub - but they show as available to preorder.
Now it may not always be obvious either, that a sub-bundle is in fact that - sometimes there is no easily discernible cross reference of name, sometimes compete lists of resources might not show, etc.
SUGGESTION: If I preorder (or order!) a bundle, any sub-bundles included are also grayed out. If I cancel the order so the bundle goes back to blue/available, the same should happen to the sub bundle. It would be even better if I hover over the sub-bundle, and instead of it just saying "You have already preordered this product" it said "You have already preordered this product as part of xxxxx".

The issue here is that the website works on the basis of licences that you own. Because you've only ordered a prepub, and haven't yet purchased the licence, it doesn't grey anything out.
It would certainly be useful if it would be possible on 'sub-bundles' to add "You've pre-ordered the Master Journal Bundle which contains this product", just as it normally adds "You've pre-ordered this bundle on 18th September".

Well they have all the info - if you click on a sub-bundle, on the right hand panel there are a list of bundles that the product is also contained in. Plus they know I have preordered the super-bundle as it is grayed out. So the two pieces give them the info they need to also gray out the sub-bundles.

Greying out the sub-bundles without a banner would confuse many customers too.

I don't know why that would be, it's the exact behavior of individual resources plus when you hover over it, it explains ey it is grayed out to you.
