Make the upcoming "Set Thumbnail" button available in the editor

So are we going to try to get scratch team to put the button in the project editor?

Wait, so you're saying you can't use the button in the editor? Then what's the point of adding the feature in the first place if you can't take an exact image of a project when certain scripts are in action?
I have no idea if you can't use the button in the editor yet, but you could just stop the project, go to the project page, and then click the button.
Also, the point of the feature was to reduce costs
https://github.com/scratchfoundation/scratch-editor/pull/264
Edit:
If you can't see the GitHub URL, here's a screenshot I took around 1-2 days ago: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1205432349
What does cutting costs have anything to do with this?

That person asked why the feature was added, and that is what was said in the PR I linked

I'd suggest putting it under the edit dropdown if it isn't a button - Solves any clutter problems and makes sense.

Also stops you from having to stop the project while it's running to go to the front page and press the button - stoping the project resets graphic effects and deletes clones, so that wouldn't be ideal.

Very good point, I'll add it to the OP

It just came up !
But, what a bummer to not have it in the editor… Why should it be only in the project page ? There is enough space between the Start/Stop buttons and the Fullscreen ( and Mini/Normal size ) button(s) in both the project page and the editor
