Install this theme component

This is a simple component to lock/unlock the composer to prevent accidental sending. Originally brought up in The awkward mishap of premature posting.

Locked:

Unlocked:

Toasts are also shown once you click on the lock icon (texts are customizable as locales).

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

But should icons work opposite way
Now it is

• locked, when sending is enabled
• open, when sending is locked

[NateDhaliwal]

Thanks. I’ve swapped them around.

Would it be possible to, for example, lock the button and instead require users to first perform the AI Proofread action and make it mandatory? And possibly even trigger it via a custom button next to the “Reply” button?

@jrgong

lock the button and instead require users to first perform the AI Proofread action and make it mandatory?

That seems a little out of scope for this component, and I’m not sure if there is a way to even track that besides onclick of the Approve button. It can be done, I suppose. Perhaps it would be better to fork this and do it there?
