Undo option?
- 2 months ago
Hello everyone, 🎉
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.
I just lost a huge chunk of text in a rise text block. I highlighted a word and started to type over it when the editor removed EVERYTHING before it. I am on the chat now with support who indicate that they will let me know within 24 hours IF the devs can recover my lost work.
1. The way the cursor moves around inside a text block without your explicit permission is absolutely ridiculous. Just try inserting a new paragraph between two existing paragraphs in a text block. It will not let you do it. The cursor always moves down to the next paragraph if you stop typing for even a second. Unacceptable.
2. Undo. Ctrl-Z. Are you kidding that this doesn't work? It works in a text block in Wordpress. It works right here in this text box. It doesn't work in Rise. This needs fixed as priority #1.
I appreciate that support and the devs are busy and that they're trying to help, but 24 hour turnaround is ridiculous to know whether you have to redo 4 hours worth of work due to a crappy text editor.
And, yes, I know, I should have created a duplicate copy of my course before starting to edit. But that is such a hack. Imagine if Microsoft told you that "to be safe" you should make duplicate copies of your Word docs before you started typing in them. Not just save, but make a backup version of every document every time you work on it, just in case Word really screws up your document and undo just doesn't work.
I know I'm ranting because I'm frustrated. But this needs fixed as an absolute top priority. And until that's done, we should not have to wait so long to have the devs be our Ctrl-Z.
Rant justified and you have my gratitude.
This is a major reason we are loathe to use Rise for many more projects, as well as to introduce it as an easy-to-use tool for faculty.
