… volume The Okteto UI labels the persistent volume created by `okteto up` as "Dev Volume", but that exact term did not appear anywhere in the docs, so users who saw "Dev Volume" in the UI could not find a match when searching. Connect the term to the volume in the two places it will index best: the `persistentVolume` Okteto Manifest field and the `okteto up` CLI reference. Both now state plainly that this is the persistent volume Okteto creates for the development container, that it persists synchronized files and caches between `okteto up` sessions, and that the UI shows it as "Dev Volume".

…d icon Revert the persistentVolume rewording in the Okteto Manifest reference and keep the Dev Volume explanation in the okteto up CLI reference. Also note that a service in development mode is marked with an Okteto icon in the Okteto Dashboard, and link to the dashboard overview.

Problem
The Okteto UI labels the persistent volume created by
okteto upas Dev Volume. That exact term appeared nowhere in the docs, so users who saw "Dev Volume" in the UI and searched the docs got no exact match (only generic "volumes" results) and could not tell what was what.Change
Introduce the term "Dev Volume" and connect it explicitly to the persistent volume
okteto upcreates for the development container, in the two places it will index best for that search:persistentVolumefield in the Okteto Manifest reference: the field intro now defines the volume, states that it persists synchronized files and configured caches betweenokteto upsessions, and notes the UI shows it as Dev Volume.okteto upin the Okteto CLI reference: a sentence connecting the volumeokteto upcreates to the Dev Volume UI label, cross-linked to thepersistentVolumefield.No behavior is described that is not already documented (persistence of synced files and caches across sessions is drawn from the existing
persistentVolumeandvolumesfield docs).Closes #583
