"Restart Numbering" is a toggle. This is shown clearly in the context menu. But the tooltip on the toolbar is only "Restart Numbering". It should be "Toggle Restart Numbering" (comparable to "Toggle Ordered/Unordered List"). Perhaps the menu command should remain "Restart Numbering" (comparable to "Ordered List" , "Unordered List")?
Toggling should be mentioned on help page: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/swriter/02/06140000.html But maybe other information is also important and relevant?
"Restart" is a verb on its own and the checkbox explain the toggle very clearly. So no urgent need for renaming from my side. But also not blocking the idea. The help text could maybe benefit from an example.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > "Restart" is a verb on its own and the checkbox Seeking clarification: Are you referring to Paragraph dialog? No changes proposed for paragraph dialog. Only for the tooltip for the "Restart numbering" icon in the "Bullets and Numbering" toolbar. (modifying summary)
The tooltip is attached to the command, whether placed on the (context) menu or toolbar. Dialogs typically do not execute UNO commands. So my thinking was about the command itself and the name. "Restart numbering" is a clear command label to me and the ability to toggle is clear by the checkbox. So my take was that changing the label is not needed.
