Description
Hello,
While testing the beta I found the sidebar contents functioned a little odd. On initial install the sidebars showing on the front-end match what was in Appearance > Widgets which is;
Footer #1 (Search, Recent Posts, Recent Comments) and in Footer #2 (Archives, Categories, Meta)
But navigating the Appearance > Customizer > Widgets showed the defaults as Footer #1 (About this site) and Footer #2 (Find Us) and once I published the Customizer I found the front-end showed these two and then now the Appearance > Widgets also showing these.
So it seems the default widget content from TwentyTwenty only loads into Customizer as a default and isn't the actual defaults found on install in Appearance > Widgets.
Thanks

The starter content is optional, so it does not show on the front until you save it.

- Component changed from Bundled Theme to Customize
- Type changed from defect (bug) to enhancement
- Version changed from trunk to 4.7
Thanks @poena I overlooked that for sure.
Seems that's the case that it's only loaded into the Customizer and only becomes live is saved. More can be found in the original make post;
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/11/30/starter-content-for-themes-in-4-7/
It might be nice to have some messaging surrounding that in the Customizer or the ability to load/disable the starter content when you load Customizer.
I guess this is less a Bundled Theme issue and has been around since 4.7. I was going to close but am going to leave for now as I feel it would be helpful to users to indicate they're looking at starter content and not live content when in that view.

Thanks for bringing up the issue @garrett-eclipse. Even though this did not turn out to be a Twenty Twenty issue, I just wanted reiterate that development is still being done on GitHub and issues need to be reported there, to avoid duplication of issues and work.
Thanks
