Unintuitive folder deletion
Recently upgraded from version 3 and have spent some time in the app doing spring cleaning. Huge improvement overall and good to have near feature parity with iOS version again.
I did come across a change that had me confused for a while though and that was relating to folder deletion. Previously, the user had the option to either delete the items contained in a folder or retain them. In version 5 the only option is to delete the items. Is there a reason this change was made? I find it a particularly strange behaviour considering the current iOS version does not delete the items contained in a folder when deleting a folder.
I do think it would be useful to have a line added to the "Folders > Deleting a folder" section of the user guide to say that items to be kept should be removed from the folder before deleting it. Despite this perhaps being the obvious thing to do it took me a while to realise that this was the workaround.

Hi @scotland,
I've never been a big user of folders so this is something I'll need to go play with. That isn't to say our documentation can't be improved on so thank you for your observations. It could very well be that this specific page requires some clarification :smile:
I hope other than this blip that you're enjoying all the improvements that have been made since 1Password 3.
