Environment variables in separate menu/tab on Azure Portal App service Settings

Question

I am working on a user guide for our azure appservices on the portal and I ran into a strange thing: For our developer the Application settings tab is no longer under the Configuration menu, but under the Settings group in a new Environment Variables menu. He made no changes, no background scripts. I see appsettings in the old place. Is this something configurable? Or is this related to access levels on the portal(As far as I know we have the exact same roles and accesses with the dev)?

Dev:

Mine:

I just want to make sure, that our customer and we see the same, or if I should cover both options in our documentation and I couldn't find anything about this on MS pages or in google.

Thank you! :)

• The Application Settings tab has been moved to a new location under the Settings=>Environment Variables, it's a recent Microsoft update.
• This change doesn’t have any impact the functionality; it’s just a reorganization/ UI Change within the portal.
• All the new applications will have this latest UI.

• And General Settings under Configuration section.

• The Environment Variables provide a way to manage the application settings of your application which can be customized based on the app’s requirements.
• This update is to improve the organization and accessibility of settings in the Azure App Services portal.
