Hey TriAnthony​ ,

This looks amazing and is something we were looking for. Would it also be possible to give a warning-popup instead of grey-ing/removing buttons? I want to inform/warn our designers about best practices and the results of not following them, but I do not want to limit their design proces.

Hi HamzaJ​,

Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great idea, I’ll make sure to include it in the next version of the plugin. Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

    Hi HamzaJ​,

    I've updated the plugin to allow a third mode "warn", which will show a pop-up warning instead of disabling/removing the UI elements. I'll update the article soon, but I thought I’d send you a copy of the plugin in advance (attached below).

    There are a few more configurations that I added, all of them are documented in the config.js file.

    Please let me know if you have any feedback. Thank you!

    Example of the pop-up warning:

        Just wanted to let you know that I've updated the article and uploaded an updated version of the plugin (the link in both the article and the comment above has also been updated), which includes a few improvements and bug fixes.
