Public bug reported:

This is a wishlist item

At my institution, we've had a number of students who have accidentally
enabled the draft option for a text box on their portfolio page and then
submitted the page/collection for grading to instructors.  Both the
instructor and student then are confused because the instructor cannot
see the text and the student has no idea why.

I think the subtle yellow colouring of the text box is not enough of a
"red flag" to students that their text is not visible to others.

I think this feature would be improved by having the word "Draft"
following the title or alternatively, directly below the title. The
"Draft" message would appear on both the editing page and the display
page for the owner of the portfolio (see attached image).

Also, if possible, having a little extra information icon beside the
"Draft" label would be great. The message accompanying this icon could
say something like, "This text box is in draft mode. Only you can see
this block, if others view your portfolio, this block will be invisible"

Thanks!
