Hide Draft File warning component
Move Disconnect repo button away from link to the repo (right-aligned? dropdown menu item?)
Increase spacing above toast messages
Remove icon from Disconnect repo function
Change + Add Mapping button to Add Mapping.
In Select Target Repository step, fix search icon overlap of placeholder text in search field

Consider different component / flow entry for Design Sync / Make Bridge mode switching, since this tab switch isn't likely to occur often enough for its prominent position and persistent display at the top.
In Select Target Repository step, fix search icon overlap of placeholder text in search field
Figma Make doesn't produce a JSON file in its output (using GitHub Integration's created repo). This means I can't pull the Make file and create variables based on its output. We should consider supporting more than just JSON files and support Make's output files/formats to be mapped to variables out of the box.
Enable create repo during Step 2 "Select Target Repository" step

Introduce git add, git commit, git ls functions; instead of a singular PUSH function.
Include git ls equivalent function for PUSH workflow so users can see what's changed before pushing.
Enable customization of name or commit message / details for Make Bridge PR creation instead of "PR GitFig is live on Figma Community (version 1.0.0) #1 created"
In the documentation (https://docs.gitfig.com/design-sync/pushing-tokens), Step 3: Enter Commit Message describes the ability for the user to write a descriptive commit message. However, this functionality is not actually present in the plugin, but needs to be. Fix the discrepancy between docs.gitfig.com's claims of being able to customize the commit message and the plugin's inability to let the user specify/write the commit message, commit details, be attributed as the commit author.
In Sync Mappings, change Delete for Mapped Files to Edit, and enable expansion of a mapping to display the editable, "in-line" re-mapping functions.
How are the PRs enumerated? How can we give the user more control over what is included in the PR, what it's named, etc.

Fix bug where sometimes "Pull" action needs to be called twice in a row to take effect
The docs claim a user can "Edit" an existing mapping with the "edit icon next to the mapping". However, only a trash can icon (delete) is present.

Sync Now is automatically creating a PR. Not expected nor intended.
In Design Sync > Connect Repository > Connect Existing, enable displaying a list of available repos instead of requiring user to manually enter the "owner/repository". This should act like an auto-complete / type ahead field that is displayed beneath the repo name field and updates on text change.

It's unclear when Variables are supposed to sync in the Figma design file or when it has been updated. It's unclear whether collections are created or how the mapped JSON file relates to Collections, Groups, other uncategorized variables, etc.
The scope of the "Settings" icon button is unclear. Are these user settings, plugin settings, repo settings, user preferences, etc. Consider how we might Consolidate Settings and Sync Mappings' Configure link.
It's unclear what each Refresh icon button will do.
It's unclear if/when certain functions are set to automatically refresh.

Confirm Repo file folders can indeed be expanded to browse nested files in Sync Mappings section
How long after a Variables' value changes will it take for the plugin to recognize that changes have been made that would need to be added, committed before push? How can we display the refresh interval and/or last updated (e.g., updated 30 seconds ago)?
