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, 🎉
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.
This is insane 3 seconds to notice a tiny hard to see box or your work is gone forever! No the CTRL Z combo did not work no matter how many times I pressed it. A whole morning of work gone poof! I am heart broken I have made a feature request to have this dealt with in a better way
This still seems to be an issue. Undo comes and goes very quickly. Is there another way to undo? Ctrl-z also is not seeming to work in Chrome. A whole section deleted in an instant.
Hi Sara!
When you delete a block in a Rise 360 lesson, the Undo button appears on screen for 6 seconds. The Control + z keyboard shortcut will work to undo text deletions, but it will not undo a deleted block.
I think this needs to be improved. I agree with the others that a recycle bin or a prompt would be more helpful. 6 seconds to see the message and decide if it was meant to be isn't long enough.
I am really surprised this doesn't have a resolution yet as this request came in three years ago and I can find a number of similar threads. Has there been any enhancements that I am not seeing?
Maybe it could ask if I am sure before deleting whole blocks? I just went to delete a skinny divider but accidently deleted an entire block of text below it that I just spent days fine tuning. This seems like a basic function and a mistake that probably happens frequently. I also deleted a block before when trying to move it up the page. Luckily it was a small one that was easy to recreate.
Same here. Is it time to look for other options????
Erika - "I feel ya". I decided that if I am going to use Rise in its current state, I just will have to make a copy of the existing project as I am going along. However, since there is no "auto backup", and saving deleted blocks does not work, that can be a pain too. Making a copy of the whole project every now and then could save some work however.
3 years on and I can't see an improvement with the undo option. I've lost several blocks because I accidently clicked on the delete icon and I can't see this undo feature. It's highly frustrating, and it really needs to be improved.
Emma - I feel your pain. This seems such an easy fix and yet, as you say - here we are years later. Can you folks at Articulate help us understand this? And forgive me, but please do not ask me to make a suggestion on a feature. We've been there.
This is really is painful.
Respectfully,
Carol
Same here. I've lost things NUMEROUS times. It just goes against all that we do in our daily lives in regard to undo, etc. As per WIKI, "Multi-level undo commands were introduced in the 1980s, allowing the users to take back a series of actions," Are you kidding me people??????????
Actually today I deleted something I shouldn't have but I'm celebrating because I actually swear to gosh I managed to hit the UNDO before it disappeared. I really feel like putting the flags up for that one. But it just got me thinking. Has someone extended the time on how long the UNDO stays on screen? It was actually a few seconds before I went for the button. I'd still really appreciate a more orthodox undo action of some discription.
I'm a new Rise user and this just happened to me...I accidentally deleted a block of content and was unable to restore it...now I have to recreate it.
I searched for a solution on-line and found this thread. 3 years after the issue was reported, there still seems to be a basic design flaw in Rise. How is this possible?!?
