In 4.22.2, the wizard moved the name and description fields from the
Review and create page to the Deployment details page. The name field
is now empty by default instead of auto-generated.

Update UI element names to match the current web console: correct radio
button labels, bold labeled UI elements, fix tab ordering, and use
generic description for unlabeled drop-down per Red Hat SSG.

Users can also navigate to create virtual machine wizard via right-click on a project and select "Create VirtualMachine" option. When they do, the selected project is automatically pre-filled in the Location section of the Deployment details step.

I'm not sure we want to document alternate ways of reaching the wizard. We're shifting away from documenting every single button/option and focusing on the main customer journeys. I'll discuss with our content strategist abut whether we think there's added value to including this alternate.

What about the flows for the template and clone creation methods?

These are being tracked in separate JIRA tickets. They should be completed in the next couple of weeks, possibly even sooner.

* *Scheduling*: Configure scheduling requirements and the run strategy.
* *SSH*: Configure SSH key settings.
* *Initial run*: Define *Cloud-init* or *Sysprep* initialization scripts.
* *Metadata*: Add *Labels* and *Annotations*.

As I remember, the "Metadata" tab title has been changed to "Labels and annotations," if we want to refer to each tab consistently by its displayed name

@mayarub I had actually run through the flow in the console earlier today and double-checked. This is a screenshot from a 4.22.2 cluster:
