strapi-plugin-publish-confirmation

Adds a confirmation step to the Publish button in Strapi v5's Content Manager. Instead of publishing immediately, editors see a dialog asking them to confirm — making accidental publishes impossible.

What it does

When an editor clicks Publish, a dialog appears:

Publish content Are you sure you want to publish these changes? This will make the content publicly available.

Cancel

Cancelling does nothing. Confirming publishes the document normally. The button is smart — it stays disabled when there is nothing new to publish (document already published with no pending changes).

The confirmation dialog appears everywhere the Publish button can be clicked:

• The document edit view
• The preview panel
• Relation modals

Requirements

• Strapi v5.x
• Node.js >= 18
