Yes, exactly.

For now, not sure what the tempalte would display, so let's leave the
link off for now. I'll add this as a TBD on the FS>

Whoops.  That's for catching this-- I've changed the language in the FS
to read "where they confirm whether/not they want to *hide* the report".
We also need a pipeline to make a hidden report active.

Either is fine. Through the edit pipeline is also OK.  Just want access
to the edit pipeline directly from the "View" page.

Yes, another good catch.  I've made the change to the FS.

Yes, this is right-- it's only "hiding" the report-- and there should be
a pipeline for "unhiding" a report.

Good catch.  Yes, I agree.

Look forward to seeing the mock-ups-- Tworks will start working on this
tomorrow.

Cheers,
Emily.
