Hi acf2215, Thanks for bringing this up — totally agree that UI clarity can make a big difference in preventing accidental actions, especially in collaborative environments. 🎯 You make a great point: 🔄 Suggestion for GitHub Team: Assigning a distinct color to the “Merge” button (e.g., purple or gray). Adding a hover warning or subtle confirmation prompt before merging directly from that area. Possibly grouping approval-related actions separately from merge actions in the layout. Even small UI changes like this could reduce friction and mistakes in fast-moving teams. Appreciate you opening this discussion! |

The color codes for the “Approve” and “Merge” buttons in Pull Requests should be different.
I reviewed a PR created by a team member and asked some questions. After being satisfied with their responses, I clicked “Resolve conversation” and was about to hit “Approve,” but I accidentally clicked “Merge” instead (thankfully, I didn’t actually merge).
I think if the buttons were different colors, we could map each feature to a color in our minds and operate more intuitively (for example, make the Merge button purple).
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
