When I first started using RStudio Cloud and saw the big red TEMPORARY label at the top beside the "Save a permanent copy" link, I actually thought that saving a permanent copy is temporary. It made me think that the permanent copy button itself is a beta feature that isn't working properly and so the TEMPORARY label beside it serves as a warning to let us know that this feature is not actually permanent. That was my understanding until just last week, when I realized the TEMPORARY is there to let me know that this project is temporary UNTIL I click on the permanent button.
Perhaps that mistake was unique to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if others make that mistake as well. The TEMPORARY label doesn't say anything else, it doesn't say what it describes, and it's in such close proximity to the button that it kind of suggests it's referring to it.
Maybe spelling out the words "This is a temporary project" or "This is a temporary project and any changes will not be saved - <click here to make a permanent copy>" will clear this up. Or maybe having a band across the top of the IDE or across the top of the page giving a similar message would be useful (like the warning band that is already supported in the IDE for other messages such as below)
