Warnings

This feature is Task-protected, which means that all changes and deletions can ultimately be recovered by discarding the Task and starting a new one; however, such changes should still be carefully considered – as abandoning a Task means abandoning the rest of its changes as well

Editing a Content Type updates all of its Content Entries – for example, with new fields

Deleting a Content Type Field deletes its associated Content Entry Fields
