Undo option?
I don't know if I missed it, but if there isn't one already, Rise really needs an "undo" option. I just accidentally deleted text from a course I was reviewing and it took forever to find the original text to restore it. A simple undo option would have saved a lot of time.
Hello everyone, š
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360! This update adds the following feature:
- Save and restore your work with a click via an easy-to-access version list that captures manual saves and export events.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available. Let me know if you have any questions about this update.
Hi there Blanca,
Oh no! I know what a pain accidentally deleting something can be, and I'm sorry you had to spend so much time finding the original text. In our January update, we added an "Undo" feature in Rise that'll allow you to undo deleted blocks to get them back, but it sounds like you deleted text within a block or lesson, correct?
That sounds like an excellent feature request, and I'd be happy to pass it along to the team for you. And in the mean time, if you're someone who is going to be working fast and furious through Rise, perhaps a good method would be to create a duplicate copy of the entire course, and that way you'd at least have the content accessible to you if you needed to start over?

Hi Alyssa,
Command Z on my Mac isn't bring back the block I deleted and I don't see in the January update how to do so. Any additional information you can share? Thank you!
Also, I wanted to mention that Ctrl + Z (or Command + Z on a Mac) will undo deleted text within a text box. Just another handy keyboard shortcut to keep on hand!

I finally saw the undo option, but thank you for writing back. Maybe pass along that the undo feature is really difficult to see. It's in light gray at the bottom left of the screen. If I hadn't happened to glance down, I wouldn't have caught it (and because I'm an idiot, I never remember the shortcut for undoing stuff).
Also, can you ask they make the quote features less rigid? I wanted to use the "carousel" quote feature as another way to present a series of information but I couldn't because I couldn't delete the quotes and dash.
Also, if they could make it so that we can drag to adjust an image once we place it somewhere in the course, that would be SUPER helpful.
ALSO, if they could make the timeline/labeled graphic/sorting activity interactions a part of the blocks, that would be cool. Or at least allow us to add more content to the stand-alone interactions.
Thanks!

Hi Blanca, I agree to an option to add to the timeline/labeled/graphic/sorting activity or make these not as a lesson, but something to insert in a lesson.
I am still not seeing the UNDO option.
Thanks

Hi Alyssa,
Are you sure about this? I actually feel like this used to work (otherwise how could I have actually made several courses...). This was probably 3 months ago, when you posted. But now...it does NOT. Highly frustrating. I have completely normal key bindings and command/ctl-z works for every other editor that I use.

I am not able to undo text add/delete using Command+Z in any text blocks. I'm using the latest version of Safari, but it also does not work in Chrome. Am I being dense?
Thanks, Blanca! We always love to see and hear more ideas on ways in which we can look at improving Rise, so these are all good things to share. You can always share your ideas here in the ELH forums, and you also have the option to send them along to our Product team in the form of a feature request. Thanks for being a part of this community!

I don't see any undo option in rise and I've just updated.
I inadvertently added one flash card too many, highlighted the flashcard and selected delete. All the flashcards were deleted and now there seems to be no way back, without starting all over again.
Hi there Ian,
So sorry to hear you lost your flashcards--I know that had to have caused you headaches. I recorded a short video using Peek which demonstrates what you might have done when you accidentally deleted all of the flashcards, and how you can delete just one flashcard instead. I hope this is helpful! :)

I find that the time frame is not long enough...firstly I never saw that option in the bottom left corner and secondly, you can lose a lot of data by making few mistakes. Please add undo for all and no time limit.

Seriously, UNDO is the very first thing expected in an editor tool....
- BlancaSermak-20Community Member
It's there... it just shows up VERY faintly at the bottom left of the screen when you do something in the course, and it disappears right away. Very weird.

I agree, I accidentally deleted an entire segment in Rise. There is no way to undo that. And had to start from scratch
- fabiofonsecaCommunity Member
Yes, you have 3 seconds to realize you made a mistake and click "undo", otherwise its lost forever .... weird is a good definition
This is all really great feedback, thank you! We always appreciate hearing how we can look at improving Rise, so these are all good things to share. Iām going to forward your thoughts to our product team.

I've done the same thing, wishing there was an undo! I will have to make a change to see if I can find the hidden undo button!
I have also found the quotes to be a problem. Flexibility to put the quotes in where appropriate would be great. I put a sentence before the quote and it forces the text into the quote, there would be too much space to add a separate block. I ended up having to setup at the end of my comment and at the beginning of the actual comment (which are not the same fonts)
By the way, it would be great option to put the person's name under the photo and make their name a larger font.
All in all, more control with text alignment and font size through the application would be great.
Hi Avril,
We're working on a feature to allow for the labelled graphic lesson as a block, and a few of the other lesson types as blocks as well. We'll keep folks posted here in ELH in regards to the development timeline on that!
The Undo option appears once you delete a section or lesson in Rise. Here's a quick Peek recording of how to see that functionality.
