 - Add a `data-state` attribute on the container: `empty`, `filled`, `dragging` or `processing`
 - Show and hide the parts of the Dropzone with the `hidden` attribute instead of inline styles, see [UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md)
 - Add a `dropzone_preview_item_template` form theme block and a `previewItemTemplate` target to render the preview of each file in `multiple` mode from a `<template>`
+- Make the `previewClearButton`, `previewFilename` and `previewImage` targets optional in single-file mode

+If you override the ``dropzone_widget`` block in your form theme, the clear button, the file name and the image preview of the single-file mode are optional: leave out the elements with the ``previewClearButton``, ``previewFilename`` or ``previewImage`` target that your design does not need.
+
+Without the clear button, the user cannot deselect the file: once a file is chosen, the input is hidden behind the preview.
+To clear the Dropzone from another element inside it, use the ``clear`` action of the controller:

+
+    <button type="button" data-action="symfony--ux-dropzone--dropzone#clear">Remove</button>
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.7
