Description

This is a UX issue. I was trying to schedule a post but couldn't find the settings. I later realized they are hidden under the "Publish" button, which I expected to be tapped only at the end of the process. Instead of labeling it "Publish," it would be better to call it "Next" or something similar. The final button for users looking to edit visibility, publish date, tags, or categories is "Publish", which should be reserved for actually publishing a post.

Research direction

Reproduce the scheduling flow in the WordPress iOS app and locate the intermediate “Publish” button shown in the attached video. Change that step’s label to “Next” or an equivalent while keeping the final button labeled “Publish”; verify the settings for visibility, publish date, tags, and categories remain accessible.
