 > Hello @garrett-eclipse, I understand, that makes sense. But wouldn't it
 be nice if the **Create New Page** is eventually removed. Right now,
 having it together with the **edit page** link on the privacy policy
 settings page looks like a duplicate. Also, renaming it to (Edit New Page)
 would be meaningful because that is what the button does.
 I'll agree that the proximity and the fact they're both primary buttons
 beside the same label. This has caused some confusion (ex.
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02S78ZAL/p1599680616357400 related
 recent Slack comment]). This is being improved upon in #49264 with the
 redesign effort for the Privacy Settings screen.

 That being said I am against removal of the action as it streamlines a
 multi-step process into a single Privacy Policy page creation step. As can
 be found from an initial mockup of the redesign the action will be
 preserved, however segregated more appropriately;

 attachment/ticket/49264/49264.5_preview.gif)]]

 As well I wouldn't trade 'Create' for 'Edit' on the action verbiage as it
 is still a creation process irregardless of the resulting view presented
 to the user. Other create actions for posts/pages/users require a 'new-
 item' form view as they require user input before the item can be created,
 with the create Privacy Policy page process the only action required is
 the single click as all information required for page creation exist as
 defaults (Title = Privacy Policy, Content = <Privacy Policy Guide
 Content>) so there's no need for the interstitial 'add-new' screen. The
 result of creating a privacy policy is the same as a page it's just
 skipping the middle steps to save the admin time.

 As there's already a ticket to address the proximity conflict I'm going to
 close this. Also with that other ticket the Settings API should be
 introduced meaning a simple filter should be able to exclude any undesired
 actions or modify them.
