Dialog shown when exiting workflow builder without saving could be clearer

If you create/edit a workflow and then click the "Back to Workflows" link (top right of workflow builder screen) without saving, you get the attached dialog.
The important part of the message "Your unsaved changes will be lost. Do you still want to proceed?" is in a small, light gray font, which is difficult to read. It's not too hard if you're in a hurry to ignore that text and think that "Confirm" means "save the workflow" and then just quickly click it. In that case, your changes are lost.
A better design would be to simplify the messaging (negative messaging is always more confusing from a UX perspective).
My suggestion:
"You have unsaved changes. Please save before leaving the workflow builder"
Two buttons: "Save Workflow & Exit" and "Continue Editing"

I make a change to a work flow and "Save Action". If I leave the workflow without saving the work flow - the change to the action isn't saved. Not sure why the save action doesn't in fact save the action?
And when you go to exit a workflow - if there has been a change to the workflow - it should alert you that you've made a change, and ask if you want to save the workflow.

Actually, now that I think about it, 3 buttons: "Save Workflow & Exit", "Continue Editing" and "Exit Without Saving"
Because there could be cases in which you really do just want to exit and not save the changes.
