Organizational Content Packs - Warning on Delete

[Seth_C_Bauer]

This is the warning box prior to deleting a Content Pack

I don't know how you convey this, but this action has the potential to create massive headaches. This will literally blow away any work an end user has done if it was based on an Org Content Pack. So if the end user builds "x" number of reports, modifies existing Content Pack reports, adds to the Dashboard...(ie. Puts alot of time in creating useful add on's) all of that work is instantly deleted with this action. I don't know what you put here, but if it were me it would be big, red, and flashing death symbols at me... Add into that the fact that you can open up a Content Pack to entire company...yikes. Would not want to be that guy that did this or gets asked to undo the delete... I'm in no way saying the functionality shouldn't be there, but this should definetely get some attention so people know.

Maybe a way to improve this message is to also show some stats on all of the artifacts (dashboards and reports) that have been consumed and extended upon from the content pack that's being delete.

It will take some time to establish best practices with regards to governance and collaboration in Power BI.  My gut feel right now is that content packs are better for users who will most likely use it in read only mode.  If we expect users to make changes to it, some sort of group collaboration or parameter personalization (not currently available) may be a better option.
