Deleting Sermons in the Sermon Manager

I was just adding a bunch of sermons with a CSV file – thanks for making that possible!

Anyway, I had several to delete, so I selected them and pressed the Backspace button, and – whoosh! – they were gone. Then it struck me that it would be REALLY nice (and a much better UI) to have a confirmation for deleting sermons. Select All would be an easy thing to do, and then the user is just a single Backspace away from losing everything. A confirmation dialog would give the user a moment of pause, and the opportunity to say, "Oh, no! Don't do that!"

    Out of ignorance, I ask 'where were they gone' too?

    For most things, Cmd Z provides an instant undo, or there is a 'bin' that only gets emptied later, or there is a 'deleted files' folder. Do any of these exist in this instance?

    Ctrl / Cmd Z does not work here.

    But Sermons are Docs, so they end up in the general Docs trash area from which they can be restored

    It's nice to know there's a way to get lost documents back, but there should still be a confirmation dialog.

    It's nice to know there's a way to get lost documents back, but there should still be an optional confirmation dialog.

    Confirmation dialogs up my exasperation level and hence stress. Especially when I have a trash bin built into the system which every app should make use of. IMNSHO.
