Changes look good to me and it's working as designed! Nice! 🙇🏼
Only one minor comment:
I personally feel like that topbar icon is a bit misleading as it doesn't look like I will enter a "manage/settings" page. Would it make sense for it to be replaced by a "cog" icon or at least have a reader/follow icon with a cog instead of a checkmark? @osullivanchris

Hey sorry I didn't get to reply sooner and save you some work, but I wouldn't bother changing this button at this time.
I 100% agree this icon is confusing. But the whole experience around following tags and sites confusing. I'm working on a different iA/navigation which will try to solve this more thoroughly - not having this 'manage following' section so prominent, if at all. I think we could just wait and do it better overall, rather than having an icon change, then another change soon after. cc @develric |

left comment above but forgot to use this 'review' box
this was a misunderstanding before, specifically about the button in the "enter a URL" field. Reviewing the list with updated buttons, it looks better @RenanLukas One thing. When I unfollow. Typically in this situation I would expect the item to be unfollowed but to stay in the list for this session, with the button changed to "Follow". Helps with errors and visual validation. Then it would be gone the next time I open this screen. If its hard to do, we can consider it for a later change. |
@osullivanchris after some investigation (thanks, @thomashorta) we realized that this is not an easy change. I'm creating an issue so this can be tracked. |
No problem. Can be captured as a later task. I certainly wouldn't block the release waiting on this. |



Fixes #19326
This PR updates the follow/unfollow button design on "Manage Topics & Sites" screen. We've decided to keep the follow/unfollow button changes out of the feature flag, which means the new design will be shown regardless of the FF status.
To test:

1 - Run JP and sign in;
2 - Open reader;
3 - Tap the follow action on the toolbar to open the "Manage Topics & Sites" screen:
4 - Check both tabs ("Followed Topics" and "Followed Sites") to verify if the follow/unfollow button matches the design. Tap the buttons to make sure the follow/unfollow action is still working as expected;
