[Commons] Import Overwrite Warning

[jngetich]

Problem statement:

One of my faculty members just inadvertently wiped *all* her active courses while importing a course from commons. She saw "All Courses" as a destination option and read it as "All Content", which is the import language from the standard import content page. Easy mistake to make, but it can't be undone.

Proposed solution:

Canvas should confirm the user really wants to overwrite all the content from all the courses, rather than just adding content to a single course. A popup would be very helpful for avoiding this issue, in addition to the undo feature which has already been suggested and added to this theme: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/Course-Import-Export-See-Detailed-List-of-Course-Imp...
