Follow up for T410167: QA Revise Tone Instrumentation & UX

Articles with Revise Tone task have non-trivial user workflow for switching between VE/source editing mode and Revise Tone surface

(1) Publishing non-revise tone edit is not possible

• go to a Revise Tone article
• without interacting with Revise tone suggestion (the highlighted section) or the revise Tone dialog- make an edit
• the Publish button is active - click on it

What happened

• the content of an article got dimmed and users cannot proceed with their edits without making decision on the Revise Tone section

	after clicking on publish button

What should happen

• a user should have a clear indication that normal edits are not possible at this point
• a user should have guidance how to make normal edits from that state
• a user should be able to opt-out from Revise tone task

✅ DONE (re-checked on Jan 26/2026) (2) Clicking x button on mobile produces Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getSidebarDialogs')

• on mobile go to a Revise tone article
• without interacting with Revise tone suggestion (the highlighted section) or the revise Tone dialog - click on x button to exit the surface
• the following Console error will be displayed:

 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getSidebarDialogs')

✅ DONE (T414831: Revise Tone UI persists brokenly after closing and reopnening the editor) (3) The counter increases on each exiting & re-entering the Revise tone surface

• go to a Revise Tone article
• the highlighted section will display the warning icon (a yellow triangle) and no counter which is a correct behavior
• without interacting with Revise tone suggestion (the highlighted section) or the revise Tone dialog - click on x button to exit the surface
• on the same article click on the pencil button to start editing
• Revise Tone surface is displayed and the counter appears

• at the bottom non-functional controls are displayed

(4) "Before publishing" is displayed when a user tries to publish a normal edit - might be confusing for users what the next steps are:

• from Homepage go to a Revise Tone article
• without interacting with Revise Tone dialog, make a non-Revise Tone edits
• the Publish icon is active - click on it
• the surface is dimmed; the Revise Tone dialog is still displayed
• "Before publishing" without any additional information is displayed
