You could just change "publish" to "schedule" in the original message and it would be accurate, no? |

+1 for this change overall, but "ready to schedule" feels a bit awkward. We may want to reconsider this in a larger context. This text currently shows one of three variants: "(Are you) ready to publish?" One option would be to nix the differentiation altogether, and opt for something generic, like "Are you ready?" or "Ready to go?", or even just "Pre-publish check" to reinforce the language we're using for this panel and its associated setting. Another option might be to nix the question bit altogether, so the title becomes an instruction: "Publish", "Schedule", "Submit for review". It's a bit simpler and clearer this way, and avoids some of the awkwardness that pops up in the latter two instances. See also minor copy changes here to be introduced in #9398 ("Are you ready to publish?" -> "Ready to publish?") |

FWIW, I'd vote for something that keeps the differentiation, because I think the specificity in the headline helps create confidence in the user that they're doing the thing the intended to do. (I also don't find "ready to schedule" terribly awkward, but that's just me.) |

Let's go ahead and merge this in then, and we can iterate as/if needed in #9398. I could be overthinking things. 🧐 |
Description
Fixes #9960.
When scheduling a new post, the text displayed in the prepublish panel was a little misleading to the user:

How has this been tested?
