Global elements

I use Glaobal Elements quite often. I've found that there is a rather significant risk for users to unitentionally delete elements that are the "mother" for Global Elements. In this elvent all use of the element is allso deleted.

Suggestion:
If the "mother"-element vas iconized the risk could be reduced a bit.

 

Allso: If a "mother"-element is deleted and restored from "Deleted Elements", the global elements are not restored.

Suggestion:
Promt user if restoration allso should include Global Element setting if the element has been "mother"-element in Global use.

Hi Richard

 

In 8.3 global elements are marked with a new icon, see release notes:

http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/releases/dynamicweb-8-3.aspx

 

Also you are now prompted correctly - "are you really sure?"

 

Good idea with the restoration.
