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.

Seriously, UNDO is the very first thing expected in an editor tool....

Yes, you have 3 seconds to realize you made a mistake and click "undo", otherwise its lost forever .... weird is a good definition

So, if you miss the "undo" in those first 3 seconds, that's it? There is no way to fix after the box fades? I deleted the wrong block and I missed the pop-up... That's pretty frustrating!

In this string Blanca comments that it is hard to see the Undo feature. I want to suggest that the new color scheme used in Articulate products (light Gray) is difficult for anyone to see especially those with less than perfect vision or older (both in my case). Perhaps an overall option to change the view color so it's more vivid.

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.

Again, I think a good fix here would be to move deleted items to a "Trash" bin that can be emptied later or items can be recovered.

  Hi Michael,
  
  There is a Deleted courses folder, although you won't find individual lessons or text there.
  
  We'll keep you posted if any other options for this are released!

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the reply; I was aware of the deleted courses folder and like that feature. However, it is tough when you accidentally delete the wrong lesson and don't realize it in time. So a trash bin within each course would be a great feature.

I can totally understand, Michael, and we'll keep you posted here with any changes on that!

Yes there should be an undo option that is always available, also maybe include like a Work history panel that shows all of your history similar to Photoshop and you can click to go back and delete items you accidentally didn't mean to click. An undo option is a definitely needed! Thank you!

Thanks, Nikki. I know a few folks have shared a similar sentiment, and we've passed all of these comments to our Product team as they look at what features to plan next. If something that matches these requirements is available we'll let you know here!

Is there no way to do this yet?

Hi Kimberly,

If you delete an entire lesson or a block item, you'll see an Undo button appear in the lower left corner of the screen. If you delete text from a lesson, try using the keyboard command Control + z or Command + z to undo the deletion.

I hope that helps clarify, and we'll keep you posted here if we add more functionality to the Undo feature in the future!

Thank you. I didn't see it when I made the mistake.

Hi Kimberly,

Just be aware if you delete a lesson or block, the "Undo" button fades in at the lower left corner, but is only available for about 3 seconds. Usually I don't realize I deleted the wrong thing within that time limit.

  Thanks, Michael. I thought so. An unfortunate feature that needs some work. An anchored button would be much more preferable if they can manage that. Love this tool so much, but that is going to cause some unfortunate rework/time.

Really annoyed. I have accidentally deleted a section on Rise and 'just' missed the 3 second window to click undo. This thread started a year ago and there is still no fix. It should be a basic feature. I have just lost a lot of work due to a stupid error and would have thought that there would at least be an added safeguard in place to prevent this happening i.e "are you sure you want to delete this section"...I clicked the wrong section, a simple delayed message could have prevented this.
