Deleting Branch Permanent and Invisible?
Something I've noticed that seems a little unusual for Onshape - deleting a branch (with no versions) - is permanent and invisible. In general everything that happens in Onshape is in the micro version history and it's almost impossible to lose work. I know that if I care about the state of a branch before I delete the workspace, I can create a version which will preserve that history. It just seems a little odd that it's not a more automatic or encouraged process. Is there a good reason to keep this behavior?
Onshape clearly recognizes that this is an irreversible action, as there's one of those messages that you can restore if you've made a mistake. I'd like to see a prompt before you finish deleting a workspace offering to create a version to preserve the history.
