Tweak Published UI of My Workflows/Tools

Feature Request

On the My Tools/Workflows page, there is a panel on the top left that lists all your tools or workflows. The panel has blue labels with the word PUB to indicate published, and UNPUB to indicate unpublished.

When I first came to the page, I thought I could click on them to Publish or Unpublish, because the labels look very much like buttons. But the labels indicate the state you are in, not the state to go to.

Desired behaviour

I suggest:

1. Change the style to be a badge
2. For published tools/workflows, change the color to be green instead of blue, as green often indicates success.
3. Optionally, not have a badge at all for the Unpublished items. The drawback to this approach is that you haven’t published anything, then nothing will be visible, and it may not be apparent that you need to publish. On the other hand, if you think of it from a badge perspective, then you just haven’t added the published badge yet.
4. If we do 3, then spell out Published. If we don’t do 3, then we may have to stick with Pub, because there might not be enough room to also have Unpublished.

See screenshot, where the last two items have badges instead of labels/buttons. In this screenshot, I do have a badge for Unpub, although I think we should remove it.

Sorry to add to this, but could the published/unpublished be an expandable list rather than a name sorted one with tags at the end?

I have quite a few un-published things that persist as I can’t delete them. Would be good if they were just hidden in a sub tree. Currently I have this:

It would be good if we could have something like the following, it would potentially reduce use of horizontal space having it as a heading rather than a “badge” on each repo:

Agreed on dropping Unpub, I still think the green is a bit too eye catching, like the Comment button below.
