Frustrations with Storyline
May 21, 2013
There is lots to like about Storyline ... but lots of frustrations as well. I don't know how many times I've gone to save my work only to have a message that Storyline has encountered a problem and shuts down before it saved my work. Because there's no autosave or document recovery, I have to replace all the work I've done since the last save. Another frustration is the undo button. God forbid if I forget myself and use it because it undoes hours more work than the one small item I wanted to undo - and if you hit redo you only gain back a fraction of what was lost. I would strongly recommend that these frustrations be addressed in the very near future. It costs me hours of work and my time is valuable when trying to get a course completed for a deadline.

Hello. I have been using Storyline since it came out and maybe had once or twice it shut down over the year with the issue you describe. I am curious as to what configuration of system that you have? Unfortunate that you are seeing this problem. I wonder if it is conflicting with other software on your system or your hardware? I run this on 2-3 machines flawlessly. These are all Windows 7 and 8 machines with 8 or more MB of RAM.
Regarding undo, it sounds like that has been fixed in the latest version out today, have you tried that version? I am curious to see if the newest version helps your issues? Thanks
Undo has been addressed in the new update - it is much stronger.
As for Autosave, at the moment Dorothy all I can recommend is "CTRL-S" every few minutes.
