Need Better Alerting/Warning when Approving Shifts that Overlap with Approved Time Off (and Vice Versa)

I love the fact that when scheduling a shift that overlaps with approved time-off, there is a banner that warns the manager about the conflict. However, I'm very concerned that the same kind of warning is not prominent when copying shifts, whether it's copying an individual shift or duplicating shifts from one week to another. The latter is often used and Pug does not alert the manager when there are conflicts with approved time off. So, a very realistic scenario would be when a manager copies this week's schedule to next week but next week but a staff has approved time off next week. The manager uses the "Publish All Shifts" function, which Pug allows them to do without any alerts, and they assume everything is fine. I think is a huge shortcoming with Pug at the moment.
A suggestion would be have a banner at the top of the screen displayed about conflicts with approved time off when copying shifts. Then, allow the banner to be expandable to display all the conflicts with links for each conflict that take managers to pages where the conflict can be resolved.
Additionally, it's great that this banner is here to notify supervisors when there is a conflict between a shift and approved time off. I'm very concerned that in the rush of doing things, managers will not see this. Can you add a secondary warning window that pops up when someone attempts to publish a shift that overlaps with approved time off? The window could say something like, "This shift conflicts with approved time off. Are you sure you want to publish this shift?"
