Description

I received a feedback about not having a two-step confirmation when the user accidentally trashed a published post. According to the user, it would be nice to show a confirmation message like "Are you sure you want to delete this?" before moving the page/post to trash.

Expected behavior
  1. Go to My Site > Site Pages / Blog Posts
  2. Click the three dots of a page/post and choose "Move to Trash"
  3. Show a pop-up with a confirmation message "Are you sure you want to delete this?"
  4. Move the page/post to Trash if Yes is selected and show a notification to undo the change
  5. Do nothing if No is selected
Actual behavior
  1. Go to My Site > Site Pages / Blog Posts
  2. Click the three dots of a page/post and choose "Move to Trash"
  3. Page/post moved to Trash with a notification to undo the change
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]

Device: Samsung SMA70
Android Version: 10
WPAndroid version: 15.1

Research direction

Start with the Site Pages and Blog Posts flow described in the issue, following the three-dot “Move to Trash” action on Android. Verify the confirmation message appears before moving a published post or page, that Yes moves it and offers undo, and that No leaves it unchanged.
