Description Rafael Chaves

Version 1.0M1

(AFAIK, not a dupe of bug #379041)

Once a site is created, there is no way to just save changes to existing mappings. There is no Save button.

As a workaround, it seems starting the site (or stopping the site) causes the site definition to be saved.

The changes save automatically every few seconds (see previous bugs bug 374922, bug 376739). Starting or stopping the site forces it to save immediately. 

If this is confusing, then perhaps we can bring back the save button, but change it to "[Saved]" when there's nothing to save. Or remove the dirty indicator (*) in the tab name entirely.

Now that you told me that, I could live with it, but I'd never have guessed that behavior on my own, seems unusual interaction. Is that a Orion pattern?

I was making changes and trying to leave the page right away but couldn't find the save button, and my only guess is that they were saved immediately (and even that would be confusing IMO), but attempting to leave the page would get me the browser warning dialog telling me my changes would be lost, so I dismissed that possibility.
