Publish and sync modals UX improvements #2971

Description

@MisRob

Summary

These are our current publish and sync modals (on develop branch):

Step 1Step 2Step 2 ErrorStep 3Step 3 ErrorCancelComplete
Publishpublish-step1publish-step2publish-step2-errorpublish-step3publish-step3-errorpublish-cancelpublish-complete
Syncsync-step1sync-step2-sync-step3sync-step3-errorsync-cancelsync-complete

There are several issues:

  • Titles are not consistent, contain user-generated data (a channel name as a title), there are ambiguous questions ("Are you sure?")
  • Ambiguous content ("Are you sure you would like to cancel this task?")
  • Publish completion message ("Complete" step), which is exactly the same as the publishing in progress message ("Step 3"), in combination with the "Refresh" button, is confusing - I don't know when it's safe to reload the page
  • We used to display channel metadata on a publish modal:

metadata-screenshot

The metadata section was temporarily removed in #2997 for two reasons:

(1) Including user-generated data in modal titles is discouraged by the design system
(2) Language, resources count, and size metadata refer to a version that's about to be published, but the version refers to a current version which is confusing and doesn't fit well into new drafts for channel metadata
