Expand the GitLab Container Registry documentation to include UI use cases and workflows
Inspired by: #29574 (comment 246349761)
Problem to solve
The current Container Registry documentation instructs users on how to connect to registry and publish and consume images. However, they do not discuss the user interface, what features are available, how to use the UI to gain information about images, and what to do when something isn't working.
As we build out additional features that are outside of the publish/install workflow (image verification, additional metadata, sorting, etc), we should create a new area of documentation that demonstrates how to utilize these features.
Intended users
- Parker (Product Manager)
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
- Simone (Software Engineer in Test)
Further details
Benefits
- Help new users who are unfamiliar with the GitLab application get up to speed quickly and find help when they need it.
- By documenting how to use the UI, we will drive usage and get better feedback on how to improve the overall user experience.
Proposal
Add a new section to the Container Registry documentation that details how to use the interface to:
- Enable the feature using the UI (include screenshots)
- Navigate to and find a image
- Understand/use the available metadata
- Download files
- Delete images/repositories
- Troubleshooting
Permissions and Security
- There are no permissions changes required for this feature.
Documentation
- Update the Container Registry documentation.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
- Success looks like we drive additional usage of the user interface and build an improved user experience.
