Undo action?

I started using Rise 360 this weekend - does the system lack an Undo button? I saved over a block of text and had to painfully recreate it.

  • The text blocks have an undo in the text editor, and if you delete a block you have a few seconds to get it back.

  • I didn't delete a whole block of text, I replaced copy in a text box and then decided I wanted the original copy. In most applications, it's a simple click Undo or Control-Z to correct. 

  • And I have to admit, I'm not particularly comforted that I have "a few seconds" to get back a deleted text block! 

  • I recently ran into the same issue where a cmnd+z function would have been extremely beneficial. And currently, the few seconds you have to cmnd+z only works on text, it doesn't even work on tables/charts. Once you've deleted a table, you have no way to retrieve it. Is there anything that can be done about this other than having to duplicate the entire module to have a copy of the previous version, anytime major edits are made????

  • I'm sorry that happened to you! The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Z (or Command + Z on a Mac) will undo the deletion of text or a table within a text block. Here's a quick screen recording of that keyboard shortcut in action.

    I completely agree with the many people who have expressed the need for an 'undo' option in Rise. And 2-3 seconds is not enough time in 9% of instances to recover content. I sure hope this is on the docket of future feature upgrades for Rise! Thanks!

    From the discussions and questions on this forum I have learned that proper undo functionality has been requested numerous times in the past. You can indeed find discussions more than two years old! 

    The editor I'm typing this reply in has more undo features than Rise does ...

    It sure feels that Rise is not taking its customers seriously.  Having people send in feature requests is nice, but no substitution for actually implementing basic functionality that is present in all decent software.
