Learning Object Repository: Updated deletion message to show effects on associated items – 3900.121

Impact: Administrators
Updated Help Topic: Learning Object Repository
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable

We updated the pop-up Delete message associated with deleting an item in the Learning Object Repository. Users now receive more information about what happens to associated objects when they delete an item, including the number of objects affected. This change responds to feedback that the original message was unclear.

Previous text when deleting an object:

"Are you sure you want to permanently delete this object? This action cannot be undone."

Revised text when deleting an object:

"Are you sure you want to permanently delete this object? This action cannot be undone. Deleting this object will affect [number] associated objects in courses and/or organizations. The associated objects will be disconnected from the Learning Object Repository, allowing full editing within courses and organizations."
