Let's keep the line break as it was, making it look cleaner.

I suppose with the same (old) message then? So essentially we just change the action to indicate the restart (not ignorable)

Yes, I think. That sounds good to me. Is it possible to make the button red, orange, or yellow?

Sadly no, we cannot change this. Even they use info for deleting files (with the same 'ol themed button):

Yeah I think it's better to reprompt, people tend to skim and not read the whole thing
Can we add another prompt?
I don't think renaming the button alone solves the pain point.

We could do a follow up prompt yes, but see this comment: #784 (comment)
Essentially it would be a 3-step process instead of 2:
- Click "Update Workspace" on the statusbar OR Click "Update" on the notification OR execute "Update Workspace" command from the palette
- Get the modal above (currently we stop here)
- Ask for confirmation again
If we want to do the 3-step process, then what would we show differently to the modal on step (2)?

yes. I think @sreya should help us here on what would be best. IMO, changing the button is sufficient, but it would be best to validate with the end user who reported it.
Let's merge this as it is with a renamed button, and we can consider a 3rd prompt in a follow-up if needed.

Lets keep the issue open and update that we updated the button name
