Problem/Motivation
The label "add to library" proposes like something is added, in addition to the current situation.
The action is a conversion / move+link operation though.
Also it conflicts with other likely "Add xyz" operations that could be registered.
Proposed resolution
Rename to "Promote to Library".
Remaining tasks
Find a label to keep.
"Convert to library"
"Move to library"
Note that the term "library" isn't visible until now. The library is just accessed with "Paragraphs" tab in admin/content.
So we could use synonyms such as transform, switch, mutate, turn, alter, modify, change.
Or simply something like "Make reusable".
Call for native language and UX experts... ;-)

miro_dietikerIndeed we are using in our projects "Convert to" for other transformations of Paragraph types.
And this is a similar transformation, just to a special library type.
The only problem is, this is way too long IMHO: "Convert to library item"
File/Send/Post to library?

toncic commentedRenamed 'Add to library' to 'Move to library'.
From my point of view we can keep this name.
Let's see what other will say.

miro_dietikerThe thing is that "move" means commonly move away, so it disappears in the origin.
The term should not only indicate that it is moved, but also linked.
Comment #5
miro_dietikerAlthough in the inverse direction we renamed it to "Unlink from library" and that is not only an unlink operation, but also clones back.
Comment #7
toncic commentedHmm, 'Send to library' is also acceptable.
Comment #8
miro_dietikerI'll review the resulting UX and terminology in a complex scenario and report back about the naming decision.

berdirMoving to Paragraphs project.

miro_dietikerThe best wording i found was "Promote to Library".
It is promoted for reuse. While the representation in the UI changes, it looks still the same in the output.
We decided to
I think we should do it like it's defined now.
Outlook: At some later stage, we could add a single "Convert..." action that then provides a conversion wizard that allows to choose if the conversion is into a library item, a different Paragraph type, or other fancy things... At that point "Convert" seems like a good name for all such actions.
Comment #11
miro_dietikerYes, the module name is Paragraph Library, so i think it should be capital "to Library".
Comment #12
miro_dietikerFor consistency, it seem we are lowercase on other locations as well with "library", so we should discuss this and change it consistently.
For instance the paragraph type name is "From library".
Opinions about case?
Comment #13
miro_dietikerAdding related Paragraph that cares about the item sequence.
