Is anybody as frustrated as I am by the close to useless undo button in Storyline? At some random point, deep into a project, the undo button stops functioning .. or, rather it undoes stuff that is not even close to what I have been working on, wiping out a lot of valuable work.
Please in advance, do not advise to save my work more often. I save my work regularly. I resent losing any work, even recent work, because of a bug in software that should not be there in the first place.
I am just starting my first SL2 project and came across the threads about undo. If they refer to SL1 great, I am using SL2. Are there any problems with undo in SL2? Also can I set the levels/amount of undos in options as I can with Photoshop?
I have checked another thread (see below) and it doesn't appear there are issues with it in SL2 - as I said I haven't experienced any but I don't think there is an option to set levels.
Could you share a bit more about what happened or what you saw? I wouldn't expect it to randomly undo things, but without knowing a bit more information it's hard to say. You'll likely want to first confirm that you're working on local project files as described here.
I did a series of undos on something unimportant, and then, out of order, something I needed went away. I tried to redo and it wouldn't. I forgot about the local drive thing.
I'm sorry to hear it Darcy - and it may be working off a network/shared drive that caused the behavior. You'll want to look at importing into a new .story file to help resolve general odd behavior and continue to work on local project files going forward.
This is still not fixed. I have lost so much work do you random lock up / crash of Storyline when pressing the undo button of death. The last one was trying to undo a a graphic paste. Noting fancy like editing a audio file.. Just a Paste. I am also dealing with e font spacing issue and it seems articulate just doesn't listen to its customers. This issue as well as the font issue has been around for a long time.
Are you using Storyline 1 or Storyline 2? As mentioned above I haven't seen the same issues present in Storyline 2 - and within Storyline 1 it does not seem that our team has identified any reproducible steps from the examples that were shared with us as a part of a case or forum discussion.

That was really quick, thank you!

Hi Shane,
I also haven't run into any issues with the undo, and as Wendy mentioned there isn't a way to set the levels of undos.
Did undo really just randomly blow away stuff out of order? What just happened? ::sigh::
