Description

Designs

Figma link / Clickable link

Sync Modal Unlink Confirmation
Image Image

Spec

  • On the footer of the sync modal, add an unlink button
  • Clicking button opens the confirmation modal
  • When confirmed, the top level object (in the designs here) are unlinked from the library reference. Unlink behavior from the modal is the same as unlinking from the overflow menu from the Outline page.
  • Descendant objects remain linked
  • Text of the confirmation dialog changes based on the unlinked block type.
    • Are you sure you want to unlink this library {block type} reference? Unlinking will enable editing within the course. Unlinked blocks cannot be synced.
    • {Child block type} contained in this {block type} will remain linked to their library versions.
  • Label of the unlink button on the footer row changes based on block type
  • Size of the modal is defined by the sync modal. When clicking "Unlink {blocktype}" the confirmation modal should remain the same size
  • Clicking "Cancel" or "go back" from the unlink confirmation brings the user back to the sync modal

Out of Scope

Research direction

Start with the Sync Modal and the overflow-menu unlink behavior on the Outline page, using the linked Figma designs as the visual reference. Trace how unlinking the top-level object currently works, then verify the confirmation flow, block-type labels, modal sizing, cancellation behavior, and preservation of descendant links against the listed spec.
