 Currently, the way recovery mode is indicated and left, is through a
 simple text link in the toolbar. This could be easy to forget you are in
 that mode and know how to leave.

 I began exploring a few options you can see in attachments. The first
 attachment shows our current state.

 1. Add a message to say what state in: If this is dismissable it's easy to
 get into the same situation of not knowing. This does come down to finding
 out when it's ok to assume someone knows the mode.

 2. Add a message and put action button to exit in that message: I took an
 extreme version of this into mocks, including showing not dismissable.

 3. Button in toolbar and message: This brings back dismissable message and
 makes the toolbar link into a button. I think this is our best balance for
 now.

 My current feeling is going with option 3 and making the link a button in
 the toolbar. I would love others to explore this but I realise we have
 limited time.
