If you delete a module without realising that something in it is being consumed by another, can the system warn you?

Hi Greg,

I get it and liked your post, makes total sense.

But as with anything you delete on a computer, a best practise is to store a copy.

I would never delete a module, app or solution, to prior download it to disk.

They you always can easily recover.

If you removed a module and didn't save it to disk, it is still in the version system tables of OutSystems and Forge components like this one help you recover it:

A lesson I had learnt before, several times, but still forget.


Inside a module I am impressed by "Find usage" to track down where things are. 

Perhaps someone can code a "Find dependencies?"  

Which would tell us which block depends on what source.
