The creation, modification and debugging of Magento 2 frontend templates can be supported by enabling the build in "Template Path Hints for Storefront" in Admin configuration of Magento 2.

Store > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Debug > Enabled Template Path Hints for Storefront > Yes

The result are graphical enhanced frontend blocks with basic information about template pathes.
