Systems and methods for moveable element indication include a system. The system includes a robotic assembly configured to support an instrument and a processor. The instrument includes an end effector and a moveable element. The end effector includes a first jaw and a second jaw. The moveable element is moveable from a first position to a second position. The processor is configured to display, on a user interface display, an image of the instrument clamping a material using the first jaw and the second jaw; and superimpose, on the image, a visual indicator of a position of the moveable element relative to the end effector.
