Stop appending Root image in the frontend
Context
When you have many image repositories in your container registry, it's important that you can easily search for them, so that you can efficiently find the one you are looking for and validate that it's correct or troubleshoot when something has gone wrong.
Problem to solve
But, if you publish an image without a tag name, we display Root image in the UI. Based on recent user research, we learned that users found this confusing and not helpful.
Proposal
Stop appending Root image in the Container Registry UI.
| Currently shown in UI | Proposal |
|---|---|
company/group/project/ Root image |
project |
Breadcrumb
No longer show Root image in breadcrumb on the image repository detail page. Instead, show the name of the project.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
Title
No longer show Root image as title on the image repository detail page. Instead, show the name of the project.
