A trap for new users of multibranch project types is that when they are looking at a view, they may see the "schedule a build" icon. It has a tooltip that says "Schedule a build for " - which actually re-indexes the branches. Builds are not guaranteed to result, which may confuse some new users.
At least correcting the tooltip would be nice.

A trap for new users of multibranch project types is that when they are looking at a view, they may see the "schedule a build" icon. It has a tooltip that says "Schedule a build for <job name>" - which actually re-indexes the branches. Builds are not guaranteed to result, which may confuse some new users.
