No indication that a project is working on being published

Problem
There is no indication to users that an action is happening, and we may see a lot of support questions about why they've published but don't know what to do next.
Steps to repro:
- Create a project
- Save
- Publish
- Observe message that says
publishing
- Once message disappears, but is still building, there is no indication that it's working on being published. The dashboard status says
Updated
and the publish screen shows no messaging. - Once it's published, the dashboard status changes, but the publish screen does nothing until refresh.
Potential solutions
- Refresh the publish tab automatically upon successful publish?
- Some type of messaging on the screen after clicking publish that tells user what's happening?
Since I believe this is how it currently works I don't think this should be a blocker to redesign launch, but it is an unintuitive user experience so we should talk about ways to make this process more smooth.

I just tried publishing a project and got slightly different steps than the one above. Logging here for reference.
Steps to repro:
- Create a project
- Save
- Publish
- Observe message that says publishing
- Once message disappears, but is still building, the publishing button says
publishing
with animation. There is a refresh or some type of action, the publish button reverts back topublish now
, and there is no indication on the publish page that the project is doing anything. The dashboard status says Updated, thecreate
tab saysupdating
and the publish screen shows no messaging. - Once it's published, the dashboard status changes, but the publish screen does nothing until refresh.
