65735	"""Complete request"" on the Erase Personal Data screen is easily mistaken for an instruction to erase"	gavbain		"On Tools → Erase Personal Data, a request row offers ""Complete request"" alongside ""Erase personal data"" / ""Force erase personal data"". ""Complete request"" only marks the request as completed (for manually-fulfilled requests) and runs no erasers — but the label reads equally naturally as ""go ahead and complete (execute) this request"". A site owner who chooses it believing they are executing the erasure gets a completed-looking request with nothing erased, and where requester notifications are configured, the data subject can be told their data was erased when it was not. The Tools-screen documentation (documentation/article/tools-erase-personal-data-screen/) does not document the action at all.

Suggested fixes (any of): rename the action to something unambiguous, e.g. ""Mark as completed (does not erase data)""; add a confirmation dialog stating no data will be erased; document the action on the Tools screen help and documentation page.

Steps to reproduce: create an erasure request for an address with erasable data → choose ""Complete request"" → request shows Completed; no eraser ran; registered erasers' data remains."	defect (bug)	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Privacy	5.6	normal		has-patch has-unit-tests		ui
