Problem/Motivation

During the usability sessions, some participants struggled to understand the differences between the three content type tabs.

Proposed resolution

Rename the tabs to be more clear. Some suggestion terms were "Input Form" and "Presentation"
Consider: Moving the manage fields UI to the edit tab, and moving the edit tab's vertical tabs into a sidebar
