The purpose of this concept module us unclear to me. It currently describes the user interface, which we don't do.

Try to think harder about what the user needs to learn before they get to manage image mode hosts:

  • What is the "image mode"?
  • Why is it relevant?
  • What are the advantages of the image mode vs. the package mode?
  • The keyword "bootc" should probably appear here.

Also, I'm not sure if this assembly is the right place. Should it go to a standalone chapter maybe? Have you considered that? Why yes? Why not?

Please, try again.

I'm still missing one more bit of information: What can the user do on hosts in Package mode that they cannot do on hosts in Image mode?

My guess: manage packages (as described in the chapter Managing packages)

Did you know you could display a column in the New UI of All Hosts page with a mode indicator?
It looks like something the user might be interested in and the column is disabled by default. Perhaps we should give them a hint that they can do that?
