    This keeps throwing me off. I think I’ve seen this mentioned once or twice before. But shouldn’t the ordering of the dropdown links in

    Design > Templates

    match the horizontal top links within the template manager?

    The fact that Template Preferences and Global Preferences are switched in the menu and the horizontal links is confusing. I also think that the verbiage

    Global Template Preferences VS. Template Preferences Manager is overly confusing as well. Why not be consistent and call them Global Preferences and Template Preferences in the horizontal links?

    Attaching screenshots to demonstrate.

    ALSO

    Snippets and Global Variables are swapped as well. Not as confusing because I don’t use them as often, but still, should be consistent…

    Addendum to make this more clear.

    Make the horizontal menu:

    Synchronize Templates / Snippets / Global Variables / Template Preferences / Global Preferences

    so it matches exactly with the drop down menu.

    Thanks.
