Instead of presenting two buttons one of which (publish) could have disastrous results on a live site, could we instead have a toggle that let's you switch between snapshot and live mode?

We could default to snapshot mode which would have a schedule option and even a button for opening a previous snapshot to continue work.

If you switch to live mode, then the publish button replaces the save button. This would make it more obvious to a user that "Oh, if I click publish now, this change is going live!"

This also gives a visual cue that you are in snapshot mode which will provide some peace of mind which, based recent user testing, would be really helpful.

This would be closely related to xwp/wp-customize-posts#207

If we could collapse-down having two separate Save & Publish buttons to instead just have one button that would help. This could also tie into the scheduling UI (#68) and how really this is all about managing the snapshot post's post_status (👈) . There could be a post stats dropdown to switch between draft, pending, publish and future in some way.
