Upgraded Devices: Directly Edit Device Names
We've introduced a usability improvement for islands converted to upgraded devices. If your island has a large amount of devices, it’s now easier to update the name of a device. In addition to clicking the gear icon to change the name, you can now click the device name at the top of the Customize panel and type in the new name directly. On a console, you can use the left trigger to focus on the name and change it.
