Hi Kristina

I agree there should be a warning on what actions deleting a view will
have.

Maybe the advice should be a question like - Would you like to backup
this view to retain any your feedback ? If the answer is  Yes then go to
the export menu, If No then carry on deleting.

The icon for deleting is a X which usually means close the window - is
it possible to replace with a rubbish bin icon - also use this  icon for
the delete collection menu.

A related issue is on the delete collection menu the default for
confirmation of deletion is Yes  - this would be better to be No or
nothing so someone deosn't accidentally press the Enter when trying to
esacape the delete menu.

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."
