Restore Rise course from version history in Review

Adding another voice to the group requesting a versioning option! I just accidentally deleted a section of a course and now have zero way to get it back. it is CRAZY this doesn't exist already!

I can't believe this feature isn't enabled already. It seems like such a basic thing. I was working on a course with a colleague (she's the author) and after having made some signficant content additions I went in the next day to find the entire section gone. I'm hoping my colleague for some reason cut / pasted the section so she could work on it offline while on vacation (she said she was going to be in a place without good internet) but I'm fearing the worst. I can't get a hold of her and I feel paralyzed with my inability to do anything. The first thing I looked for was a version history then thought maybe only authors can see / control this but after reading this thread my hopes are dashed. 

I agree! This feature would be great.

Another person that really wished there was versioning on Rise. I accidentally deleted a section when I was changing one course into two. Big oops on my end but was really hoping there was another option than recreating the now missing content.

I'm so disappointed [tears]. Articulate you should be embarrassed [beet red]. 3 years and you don't have version control in the Rise platform [OMG].

Here's our sad story [sniff]. We were breaking up a course into smaller RISE courses but did not back up the larger course before beginning. Mistakes happen. Thankfully, I recently published it so we can recreate it [sigh].

Articulate: Please model after me and admit you made a grave mistake and tell us the timeline of when version control will be available in RISE. This is the only response I want from Articulate on this matter. I‘m quite sure my head will explode if you:

• Give me the spiel of software companies don't tell what and when they are rolling out. I think we all know version control is not innovative. So, no need to be secretive here. Most new users probably think it is already a feature because it is such a basic need [hopefully I’m preventing someone else’s mistake].
• Ask me to put this fundamental feature as a “suggestion” to your developers. Again 3 years and counting. This response insults me and I bet other users of your product. And it should be embarrassing to your company [tick tock].
• I appreciate the position that articulate staff moderating this community are in. But really, don't make them write a "cheery-thank you for the suggestion nonresponsive post" to me. It is mean to your staff and I feel like I'm "blaming the messenger" and possibly ruining their day.

We made this same mistake about 1 year ago. (See it’s not that hard). I really hope that if/when we make this mistake again (mistakes do happen), I will have version control and the software features that people normally expect with award-winning software.

Looking for action,

Julie

I agree. I would like to see the revert as well. Or have it so you can see a history of all changes and revert the changes you want.

Let me add my name to the list of requestors. It's inevitable that topics are developed, changed after consultation -- and then the SME decides that after all, they prefer the previous version. Yes, please implement more version control, possibly at the block level. It may be necessary to revert to a previous version for an entire course, but if you could swap individual blocks back to previous versions, that will sometimes "fit the bill" also.

Hi All! Thanks for letting us know you're interested in having a version control feature. We're tracking requests for this, and we'll let you know if we make any changes that help!

Versioning ability would be a great addition, I would love to see this become an available feature!

Thanks for chiming in, Elizabeth!

Command + Z (Mac) and Control + Z (Windows) will undo text edits and text formatting, but it will not bring back a deleted block. 

If you delete a block, you'll see an Undo button at the bottom of the screen for several seconds. If you no longer see that button, you'll want to recreate the block again.
