#49844: Confirmation prompt for first 'Publish' in the REST editor is not prominent
enough

 When creating a new post using the REST editor, the first time you hit
 'Publish' you are asked to confirm if you really want to publish the post.

 However, this has resulted in multiple clients losing their work on a new
 page or post because the confirmation prompt is not prominent enough, so
 after they hit 'Publish' the first time, they assume the post was
 successfully published just like the old editor experience. If they then
 navigate away to do something else, they may then come back to the tab
 later, not realising it is still essentially holding a draft of the post
 or page they thought they published and close the tab, dismissing the
 browser prompt telling them there are unsaved changes.

 My suggestion is to make the confirmation prompt appear in a more central
 area on the screen or perhaps in a modal overlay to ensure the user
 doesn't assume it's published. I'm happy to code the solution once it is
 agreed (a) that the change is required, and (b) what the change needs to
 look like.

 Thanks
