Hi Kristina

Having the prompt for the backup was to take them to the menu for
backing up as users may not know how to backup a view.

The Yes No prompt would only appear once after the question is answered
so may not be confusing as they don't appear on same screen.

Your words are fine to explain the possible consequences  - having the
prompt  also means there is more likelihood of this being read.

I am also OK with the X being used to delete - this is also used in
Moodle so people will be able to figure this out especially when a
prompt about deleting comes up.

x delete is used for deleting Groups

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."
