Hi Kristina,

Sorry - should have checked in with you - I saw your suggestion but on
review though that terminology was more accurate (terminology taken from
Edit Content and Layout > "Drag and drop content blocks from the tabs
below to create your View.") as individual items were not deleted when
you delete a view. Feedback entered against the view does get deleted as
it is associated with the view.

I see now that some content blocks are view specific and others are
independent but can be associated with a view. The view specific content
is that which is lost. I'll revert to your suggestion verbatim and
update.

Thanks.
Alan

Status in Mahara ePortfolio: In Progress

Bug description:
Hello,

"Do you really want to delete this View? It cannot be undone." –> Some users may ask if their files and blog entries will also be lost when the view is deleted. 

Maybe a sentence should be added along the lines of "All your files and blog entries that you linked in this view will still be available. However, if you have written text directly into text boxes, this will be gone." 

BUT if text boxes also get the artefact status then the second sentence becomes redundant. 

Maybe we can also provide a link to the portfolio export. That could be used as backup (they could always do an HTML export to freeze their portfolio in time). E.g. "If you want to create a copy of your portfolio in the state it was in before deleting, you may want to [link]export[/link] it before you delete this view."
