Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
At the usability study, users found themselves in "Configuration Management" which sounds more important and appealing than it really is. User went there hoping for more.
Proposed resolution
Relabel the "Configuration Management" section and update the description accordingly. Suggestions:
- Synchoronize configuration
- Synchonization management
- Configuration synchronization
Here's a screenshot with the last suggestion, and an updated description:
Remaining tasks
None.
User interface changes
None.
API changes
None.
Data model changes

cilefen CreditAttribution: cilefen commentedAt a glance, this is easy enough for a novice to try.

cilefen CreditAttribution: cilefen commentedI agree! It seems like when I am on the 'admin/config' path I am managing my configuration. And in HEAD when you click on 'Configuration management' you come to a page whose title is 'Synchronize'. I am going a step further and saying the titles of the sub-pages are so short as to be misleading. I have changed them in this patch too:
Synchronize => Synchronize site configuration
Export => Export full site configuration
Import => Import full site configuration
Single import => Import single configuration
Single export => Export single configuration

ivanstegic CreditAttribution: ivanstegic at TEN7 commented@cilefen There is a related issue to improve the usability of this part of CMI: #2247291: Reorder tabs in configuration UI
I think we'd be better off in this case just keeping it to the top level nav, the thing which we identified in the study. I've added a reference to the other issue here too.
Could you re-roll the patch please if you agree?

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedJust wondering if we need the "site" part here. Given that its pretty clear what you are building is a site?
Comment #8
Eli-TAre there any viewable results from the usability study? If so can we link to them in the issue description?
Comment #9
ivanstegic CreditAttribution: ivanstegic at TEN7 commented@Bojhan I think I'd agree, removing site would be fine with me.
@Eli-T this issue is the direct result of the study, in this particular item. I'm pretty sure the videos are available, but I don't have the link to them. @Bojhan can supply that I think. Here's the spreadsheet that we were working from: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iCcj2E4F4Nsns_HkDUnutCgEKWQc7kEu...

Comment #13
webchickLooks good here, too. It would be nice to get a configuration subsystem maintainer sign-off first, though, since this is their primary UI.
Comment #14
xjmAssigning to alexpott for that signoff.
FWIW +1; I have always thought this would be a better name for the link.
Comment #15
tim.plunkett+1 for RTBC (I'm actually in MAINTAINERS.txt for config.module, but I'll leave it for @alexpott)
