# Objective
The current observers have some unfortunate footguns where you can end
up confused about what is actually being observed. For apps you can
chain observe like `app.observe(..).observe(..)` which works like you
would expect, but if you try the same with world the first `observe()`
will return the `EntityWorldMut` for the created observer, and the
second `observe()` will only observe on the observer entity. It took
several hours for multiple people on discord to figure this out, which
is not a great experience.
## Solution
Rename `observe` on entities to `observe_entity`. It's slightly more
verbose when you know you have an entity, but it feels right to me that
observers for specific things have more specific naming, and it prevents
this issue completely.
Another possible solution would be to unify `observe` on `App` and
`World` to have the same kind of return type, but I'm not sure exactly
what that would look like.
## Testing
Simple name change, so only concern is docs really.
---
## Migration Guide
The `observe()` method on entities has been renamed to
`observe_entity()` to prevent confusion about what is being observed in
some cases.
