Django 4.2 brings one change I don't see anyone talking about: the default admin save & delete buttons have swapped sides.

If you're wondering why, it was part of a change to fix the tab ordering. You can read more here: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33728

It'll take some getting used to after 14 years!

#33728 (Tab order should match visual order for admin model forms’ submit buttons) – Django

@djm I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of internal staff working on admins that should really be custom pages suddenly cried out in terror...

@adamchainz Haha, I love this mostly because we’ve worked hard to get a proper backoffice space here. Admin is only for us.

I am very anti the idea that the Django Admin is for anything but getting started/developer tooling! However nice it is…

@adamchainz Haha, so true. Even we're not 100% where the value is much lower.
