Revoke may be too vague for unbinding a 3PID

[jryans]

We've had some feedback that a button with the word "Revoke" to unbind a 3PID is too vague / unnatural.

There was also some suggestion that the Share / Revoke flow would be simpler if it were a toggle switch (eliminating the need for labels), but there's an intermediate state where you validate an email and click a continue button, so it may not be a good match for a toggle.

@nadonomy, any thoughts on this? Maybe Revoke is okay for now, or perhaps there's a better word?

@jryans Maybe just [Stop Sharing]?

Once the user clicks on it, does the email address persist in the list (with a [Share] action?) or is it removed entirely?

Currently it remains in the list with a [Share] action.

Having thought about it more, perhaps [Share] & [Stop sharing] is clearer? And then separately [Add] & [Remove] for which email addresses the IS knows of.

I think that makes sense to me.

Mobile is also wondering about this problem space as well. I think they really wish it could be a toggle switch on their side... 😅

Thinking more about it.. I can't think of a super strong rationale for it not to be. I could look at this in more detail visually later today if that's useful?

The reason for a toggle being tricky is that horrible interstitial where you have to check your email then come back and click a button to complete the toggle state change.

I'm sure there exists a way to represent this nicely, it's just not absolutely as straightforward as switching the button dance for a toggle.

I would love to see a toggle though if we can find a way to handle the state transition.

What about if we had a toggle with 3 states:

• Off & Disabled, with micro copy/link to verify email
• Off
• On

?
