Confirmation message when updating area of interest - Backend
When editing a profile from the Alma backend it is incredibly easy to accidently delete the Areas of Interest section which, if done accidently, would require the researcher to enter the details again. It would be good to have a confirmation message attached to this action e.g. Are you sure you want to delete the Areas of Interest from the Profile?. I know this is operator error and you could cancel out of the record, but I’m sure it’s going to happen at some point.

Similar data loss could occur for researcher identifiers (eg. scopus, orcid, researcherID) when two Researcher Records are merged and the second record is auto-deleted. It would be good if the system had a confirmation message attached to the auto-delete action eg. "Are you sure you want to delete this record? It contains Researcher Identifiers".
Even better, it would be good if Researcher Identifiers could merge across.
