Why in heaven's name would you move the "Approve" button into the "Remove" column after removing something.
Don't move buttons! It causes misclicks!
EdIt: Oh dear lord, and changing the color so it looks like the remove button as well? I do not understand why people think moving (and **changing**) clickable elements is a good idea.

It's funny, this came up in discussion earlier this week internally :). We are still down to change how we handle this state as well as other parts of the design.
As for the thought process:
- We currently don't have a way to "undo/revert" an approve or remove, but we still want to make sure it's easy to change the state (in case of a mis-click or later discovered additional context). For that reason, we have left the opposing button available by default (as opposed to hiding it behind a menu). This may not be as important as we think. If you think this could be hidden behind a menu, let us know
- Another alternative we've considered is to leave the other button there, but disable it based on the state. Curious if you think this would suffice!
We did actually change the button treatment for things that have been actioned on. It's be "bordered" rather than filled. That said, it may not be enough. Position is an important factor as well.
