Describe the issue you are having

The new layout is less overwhelming, but it is still not 100% clear what the edit button does.

This mockup suggests a new layout. The play button to the immediate left of the configuration name is more obvious that clicking it will start that configuration, and the three-dot burger menu is a more universal "edit" or "options" icon than the current one.

I like the idea, but I don't think the ⁝ or ☰ works well when they don't open a drop-down menu. However, a gear icon could work.
