Hi Guys
The design I have no issue with but the thought process of having to click 3 buttons to get the Configuration Button is crazy. It must be the most visited page daily but I have to go through General Tab first ?

Maybe, you can build a button for yourself and call respective service 
service: homeassistant.check_config
here is a “development” section I use in one of my lovelace views. All of the checks and reloads/restart are in one place.
It uses the “check-config” appdaemon app but if you don’t want to use that you could modify it as needed.

There’s also this option:
I added a link to devices the other day too as I find myself using that a lot now. Though I should force myself to remember the Quick Bar. If you want fast that is the way. Press c and a couple of related letters and all commands are right there.
I think the duplicate server controls are due to my panel redirects.
