Remove the new status feature on Lists and just change the wording of the existing Publish bar instead

We have the ongoing problem of lecturers using expired lists, instead of the lists rolled over for their course.

As the new green "PUBLISHED: This lists is live, students can see latest changes" status label is appearing on all published lists, regardless of whether their time period is active, upcoming, or expired --- it gives the impression that lecturers can use expired lists.

It is confusing to see multiple status colours on the same list. For example, a list can now simultaneously have a red "list has ended" warning bar and a red time period but also a green published status 'this list is live'.

It would simplify things by just have the Publish bar back but floating as you scroll and with better wording.

      Hi Sarah, as far as the publish button goes, we are in the process of changing how this works after some usability testing with a group of academics actively using lists. These changes will be available soon. In terms of the published wording for all lists live or not, we will be taking this to our team for a feasibility review. Thanks, the Product Team
