How does Hegel's use of the term "phenomenology" differ from its usage in 20th century phenomenology?

I'm new to the history of philosophy. I know a bit about Hegel and the phenomenological tradition that proceeds Husserl, like Heidegger, Sartre, etc. I can tell that, for instance, Husserl and Hegel mean different things when they consider phenomenology, but I don't know enough to really understand what the fundamental differences are.

One of the most salient differences is that Hegel conceives his phenomenology as a progressive process that involves different stages whereas 20th century phenomenology is a method of describing a phenomenon. One is diachronic, the other is synchronic. The two also have different aims so they mostly just share the fact that their main concern is phenomena. Hegel calls what he does a "phenomenology" because it is concerned with a progressive set of experiences of consciousness (the way the world appeared to us in different configurations of rationality). Husserl named what he did a "phenomenology" because he wanted to develop a science that'd explain the structures that rule the way things appear to us.
