Clarification for my initial report: A message is displayed saying that
the access permissions have been updated, but there is no shared page
notification sent out because the pages had already been shared
previously. Sure, this avoids notifications, but the current message is
not very obvious (it's small and in green).

I think a popup message would be better than just a screen confirmation
as that is overlooked very easily. We might also have to have different
messages, e.g. one for when the collection takes on the access
permissions of the pages that were added to the collection and another
one for when a new page is added to a collection and takes on these
sharing permissions.

The issue is not that the user doesn't know what pages are in the
collection, but that the information about the access permissions is not
easily visible. Thus, for this bug here I would not add the pages on
/view/share.php for the collection. If that is an issue for users, it
should receive it's own feature request.

Title:
  Make it more obvious when adding a page to a collection that same
  access rules apply

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When a user creates a collection and makes that accessible to a group
  of people, all pages within the collection receive the same access
  permissions (wanted behavior).

  When the user adds another page to the collection, this page
  immediately takes on these access permissions as well (wanted
  behavior). However, the user is not alerted to that fact but it is
  only implied.

  It should be more obvious that when a page gets added to a collection
  that the same access permissions apply as to the rest of the
  collection to give the user the chance to review these access
  permissions.
