Ironsworn 2.0 sheet - A little extra warning would be great.

Hello there Roll20 community, First thing, the new sheet has some really nice new features. I need time to get used to the look and layout, but having your various tracks available at all times is very handy. The search function on the moves tab has really helped my friend who is less acquainted with the system. BUT, please add some more text or a warning for people who open the new sheet for the first time. I lost two characters today by clicking on the 'shared' option in the initial dialogue box. I thought it was maybe a new layout option, or that it was the new sheet, only to have my quests, stats, everything deleted in a shared sheet. I thought "there must be a way to change it to the character sheet." But no, there isn't unfortunately. Please add a clearer explanation OR a warning about losing information for players who open the sheets in existing games with existing characters. Don't want to take away from the amazing work on creating one of the best sheets in Roll20 (it makes the game so easy to run, thank you). Just feels bad when you delete your character from not understanding this new thing that is thrust before you. EDIT: Went back in and read what the sheet says. "If this was previously a character sheet, you can just select the "CHARACTER" option. (all your data will be retained). The 'can' made me feel like this was an 'either/or' option. The (All your data will be retained) is on a separate line and feels like it is a statement about either sheet. After making the mistake, I feel silly, but when you are presented with this suddenly and are trying to get your game going, hasty decisions are made. My initial thought was that the 'shared' sheet would display the character sheet in a dual page layout like on the landing page.
If you go to the "Attributes & Abilities" tab on the sheet, scroll down until you find the "mode" attribute, and change it to 0. Should switch it from a SHARED sheet to a CHARACTER sheet.  Your information is still there, it's just not being shown.
