Whenever I click undo in a story-line slide, the edit that it references is from a previous action several slides before and not the most precedet one. I canot find an alternatie to undo other than CTRL-Z.
I shut down and am restarting to see how it goes; will let you know if it happens again. I was working on an copy-pasted image from PowerPoint tha I was cropping, stopped doing that, went to text editing, while text editing I made some changes and needed to undo (CTRL-Z), the undo went backwards (leaped over my edits) to the copy-paste image
I have had the same issue several times - using ctrl+z jumps to an action many, many actions ago. (It's not a restart problem, as this has happened on several days, in a couple of different files). If you have several slides, it can be very frustrating - because who knows what it undid... ctrl+z is such a standard windows command, it's an unconscious habit. Let me know if this gets resolved. Thanks!
It is a bug, I have that problem as well. There's been a few threads about this issue. I've also sent it to the support page for them to fix in a later version.
If you're having that issue, sometimes all that's needed is a restart of the program. Its cleared up the issue for me in the past. Just remember to save first!
The only solution I've discovered is to save work, close Articulate, and reopen the project. If this undo bug starts acting up again, restart Articulate.

Hi Joel,
That sounds like it could be some kind of bug. If you want, you can tell Articulate about it here.
Also - here is where the Undo and Redo arrows are located so that you can try them and see if the same issue occurs when you use them.
Thanks Jill:

Hope restarting solves it!

It has been bugging me the whole afternoon!!! Taking me several steps back >:o getting frustrated at this point!
I am seeing the undo bug too. I now always hover over the undo icon to see what is going to undo before clicking.
I get the feeling this only started once my project got to a certain size/complexity, but that maybe a guess.

Check you are using the latest update, I have not had issues with undo since update 5
Hi Sue,
Phil's correct - it may be a good idea to make sure you have the latest version of Storyline installed.
To find your current version, click on Help >> About Articulate Storyline.
If you're not running Update 5 (1401.2415), I'd recommend downloading the update, installing, then testing your content again.
A list of fixes for this and all previous updates can be found here:
Issues Addressed in the Latest Articulate Storyline Update
Let us know if you try this and still have trouble.
Best,
Christine
