The Undo button doesn't make sense
Mar 26, 2024
This is more so intended to be feedback for Articulate Storyline, but it just makes zero sense to me.
Here's an example: I deleted an object and moved another object a little higher to the deleted object's previous position. Then I decided I wanted the deleted object back. Instead of immediately reappearing upon clicking the undo button or maybe after a couple undos or maybe 5 or maybe 10, this other object just retraces pixel by pixel to the previous point...before the undo button is out of undos and I can't get my deleted object back because Storyline seems to think it's important enough to retrace pixel by pixel.
Can't there be more significant retracing so that this tool is useful in a lot more cases?

Most apps save not the results, but your actions. So it makes sense that if you move the object by pixels (as opposed to just dragging it all at once), any app will undo your individual separate actions.
To be fair, SL is pretty much on the low end of capacity for how many steps it saves. And it would be really nice to be able to call up a list of actions, and undo a bunch of them all at once.
Hello Edward!
This is helpful feedback! We have a feature request that includes what you've mentioned about the Undo behavior. I've added your comments so we can update you if this makes it on our feature roadmap.
