Slide accidental deletion (prompting user suggestion)
Apr 24, 2019

Greetings guys,
I was working with a lesson plugging some audios and suddenly, I observed that there was a slide missing. I knew I had that slide. So went back with the undo button and then I realized my fat fingers did it by accident.
Just one suggestion from the user perspective:
In a future update, could you make a delete slide confirmation window available? So that way if someone accidentally attempts to delete a slide, the application prompts the user if that is what the user really wants to do.
In the meantime, I'm already putting my fingers on a diet :)
Best regards!
Javier

Good news!! That feature already exists. You can reset the prompts by clicking the File tab and selecting Storyline options at the bottom of the pop-up box. Then in the Storyline Options box, click the Reset "Don't Show Again" Prompts button. That should reset them.
Hope that is what you are looking for!
Here's something that always helps me: As I'm working on a module, I open the module, and do "Save as" at the start of each day, and add today's date to the file name, so I always have multiple versions of the module to go back to. I delete most of them when I finally wrap up. It's saved me a lot of rework a bunch of times.
Yes. This. Do the exact same. Saved my bacon many times. :)
Oh my goodness yes, thank you so much Tracy :D
Yes, I will definitely do that David. Having a backup version is definitely a good idea.
