Let's remove the launch button in the editor for now and have another round of design work to find a better placement for it.

We have enough subjective evidence that the "launch" button in the editor header is confusing customers:

Context

Initially, when designed & implemented (#39048), the "Publish" button was relabelled as "Save" because it was causing issues with React (#42508).

Adjusting terminology is challenging because it's coming from the core (pbAok1-BD-p2), and needs to be updated in quite a few places to be consistent.

We also have few other areas where people can launch their sites:

Next

  • Remove the launch button and resume regular functionality in the editor, and observe analytics and user testing.
  • I know we have the "focused launch" flow starting from this point; the goal is to expand that flow to other places as well and not depend on this one button.
  • Explore other placements for launch. Better design placement for this action might be within the FSE site editor. We might even have some earlier designs around.
