Hi there,

I might be mistaken by a change, but I can't find the small "synchronize to backup" button for HA settings in the new 25.1 UI.

And therefore, also missing the small status when you press on it!

Is it missing or is it moved somewhere else? Thx in advance!

yes - it's in the releasenotes.

It's the bottom of the page now.

I must admit it's less intuitive now and doesn't really offer the user necessary feedback of the process.

Suggestion for developers is to make the user realize the process similarly to the old functionality.

I indeed read system: migrate HA status page to MVC/API in the release notes, but it didn't really made me understand what it means.

So if it is the Synchronize and reconfigure all, it is not clear at all, because if you put your mouse on the button, it is displaying "Restart all services"... 😁
There is also the link Perform synchronization, in the HA settings area, right behind Configuration Synchronization Settings (XMLRPC Sync), but also not very clear.

None of them is giving you a clear status/result anyway so any chance to change the way we get a confirmation that everything is running smoothly?

PS: I'd love to hear from dev team to understand the change, there is probably a good reason.

That means that entire part of the UI was rewritten from scratch.

I agree. The wording could be more helpful. Would you open an issue on Github about that?

Sure I will, thanks for considering it! 👌

It's not my prerogative to consider or not consider change requests - I am just an OPNsense user and Deciso customer like most people on this forum.

Oups, but the more we are, the chances are greater! 😊

I did open a feature request in the meantime (not really a bug IMHO)
