Iss 9f4d8d8b0c docs: update schedule & test navigation for the new dashboard UI (#4252)
The dashboard was redesigned and two pages moved, but the docs still
described the old sidebar:

- **Schedules** no longer has its own sidebar page — schedules are
managed from the **Tasks** page (open a scheduled task to create / view
/ edit / enable-disable / delete them).
- The standalone list-based **Test** page is deprecated — you test a
task from its own **Test** button now.

## Changes

- `tasks/scheduled.mdx`: rewrote the "attaching schedules" and "testing
schedules" sections for the Tasks-based flow, added a "managing
schedules in the dashboard" section, and added explicit callouts noting
both pages moved (so readers — and search — aren't pointed at a page
that no longer exists). Re-shot the four schedule screenshots and fixed
a mislabeled alt text.
- `run-tests.mdx`, `snippets/step-run-test.mdx`,
`guides/examples/sentry-error-tracking.mdx`: replaced "select the Test
page in the sidebar" with the task-first flow plus a callout, and
refreshed `test-dashboard.png`.

title: "Run tests"
description: "You can use the dashboard to run a test of your tasks."
---
You can run a test for any of your tasks, in any environment, from the dashboard.
<Note>
There is no longer a "Test" page in the sidebar. You test a task from the task itself: on the
Tasks page open a task (or use the "Test" action next to a task in the Runs list) and press the
"Test" button to open its test page.
</Note>
On a task's test page you can:
- Enter the run's input — a JSON **payload** and optional **metadata**. Scheduled tasks show timestamp fields instead of a payload.
- Configure run **options** like the machine size, version, queue, tags, retries, max duration, or a delay.
- Pre-populate the form from a previous run with **Recent runs**, or save and reuse a configuration with **Templates**.
- Press **Run test** to trigger the run.
