Description

It seems like the word "replace" is used often with action items (replacing template parts, for example). When reviewing #56407 (which even uses the word "replace" in the issue title), I found it peculiar that the word "swap" is used in the UI. Should we consider "Replace template" > "Swap template"?

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Go to Site editor > Pages and click a page to edit.
  2. On right hand side of screen, click the Templates drop down to view options.

Or, given some of the work @richtabor has done with removing extra words, should we acknowledge the redundancy in "template" being used, since folks are clicking the Template option and have the drop down menu read:

  • Edit
  • Replace
  • Preview

Rather than:

  • Edit template
  • Replace template
  • Preview template

Makes sense to me. @annezazu I recall you've explored a bit on this popover as well, right?
