Undo Button Stops Functioning Properly After Awhile...

Jun 18, 2012

This is just more of a general observation, and wondering if anyone else has encountered this... After working in the same project for a few hours the "Undo" button stops functioning properly... it will no longer "undo" my last action but an action from, say, 10 clicks ago.

As Steve mentioned, this was a serious problem during the beta and we were all extremely frustrated.  The work around that has worked for me is as follows:

Save often and ALWAYS save prior to clicking undo.  This sounds crazy, but it works.  Storyline will still allow you to undo after you save.  If undo causes you to time-warp a couple hours back after saving and redo causes you to go into a black hole somewhere, then at least you have a backup of where you just were before hitting undo and you can now manually make the changes.

If you are like me and use the keyboard shortcuts, then your new shortcut is CTRL-S, CTRL-Z.

I really hope they resolve this issue in the next release!!!!

Thanks for the tip Eddie. Good to know that it always works if you save first. I DO use keyboard shortcuts all the time so Ill need to train myself on the CTRL s, CTRL z trick.

Just think of it as "The Excitement Suite".

Storyline CTRL-Z - "Where would you like to go today?"

The more graphics/graphical manipulation you do, the more unexpected excitement you can expect from SL CTRL-Z. In my opinion and experience.

Sometimes it will even jump to a Scene that you finished with some time ago.

'Waddya want? Perfection?

PS - can we please add "It's a booger" to the SL functionality matrix?
