When you first press the "publish" button, the pre-publish panel shows up, with the following text:

Are you ready to publish?

Here, you can do a last-minute check up of your settings below, before you publish.

Here it is in context:

I think we can improve this copy so it's a bit more clear and direct. The two references to a physical location ("here" and "below") are a bit confusing, and we probably don't need two commas in a single sentence.

Quick suggestion:

Are you ready to publish?

Double-check your settings, then use the button to publish your post.
