This is fairly minor but it affected me quite a few times recently so thought I’d mention it. When you restore a backup, email is disabled for non-staff at first. This is good! However, finding your way to the setting to enable it again is cumbersome, especially if you don’t know the setting name and haven’t done it recently if ever.
A welcome quality of life improvement would be to add a link to the setting in the notice shown to admins, e.g.
Outgoing email has been disabled for non-staff users. Enable
There is prior art for what this change might look like earlier in the process. Before restoring your backup, you have to enable restore first:
Restore is currently disabled. To enable it, visit the site settings.
Though this also has a problem in that when you click the link you are taken away from the page you are on, and you have to navigate your way back to the backup page. Once you return you are prompted with the same warning. You have to know this but you have to now do a hard refresh in your web browser before the change takes effect. It would be nice to be able to just do this directly by clicking a button in the warning.
Yeah, that would help. I’ve also looked for “enable email” (wrong) and “disabled” (confusing, shows digest disabling options) and “email” (too many results). If it were just at the top of the email settings that would also help. Right now its buried way down in the list.
