Description

Just had to cancel a maintenance, because we have theme overrides in our theme configuration page for mobile.
after some reasearch it appears the the vcl file was not being updated, nor was it warning the user that it needed to be updated. Additionally there is nothing in the user guide that mentions this: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-apply.html#theme-apply-except

at a very minimum the userguide should be updated, but a tool tip saying "re export the varnish VCL file and configure it please" would be better

Research direction

Start with the linked theme-apply user guide section and then trace the theme configuration flow that handles mobile user-agent overrides and Varnish VCL export. Done means the required VCL refresh is clearly documented, with the requested warning or tooltip behavior addressed if the relevant configuration entry point is identified.
