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 ] [ Confirm ]

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
