What happens to my feedback? | Community

Having the undo-redo buttons in the top toolbar seems like pretty standard practice to me. It’s intuitive. More importantly, it is part of how I learned to use the product.

When it unexpectedly disappeared, I wasted time searching for a basic function. After looking all over, I still couldn’t find it. I went looking for preferences that would let me customize the toolbar (dead end), looking for preferences that would enable the old behavior (dead end). Eventually I gave up and started using key combinations to do it. Hours later it was only happenstance that I finally noticed it in the place on the screen that I pay the least attention to.

This is unnecessary not user friendly change.  I would love to understand the logic behind it. It take more time to get to the bottom of the webpage then up where every other user function is located.   Its a pretty wild decision.

I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts myself. But sometimes, I’m not even using the keyboard when in LucidChart because what I’m doing is 99% mouse clicks and drags. It seems odd to me that you’d move the undo/redo button to the most extreme opposite end of the display area, and make it twice as small. It’s almost like you’re intentionally trying to irritate users for a laugh. If that’s the case, you have my blessing. Carry on. 

Hey ​@Jim S ​@joey342 ​@coult45usmc, thank you so much for providing further feedback on your experience and I am sorry for the trouble.

I highly encourage anybody else who would like to see this feature implemented in the future to upvote and comment in the thread as all feedback is very incredibly helpful to our product team.

Agreed please change this back, I do not want to admit how long it took me to figure out it was moved to the lower right hand corner… 

​@crob thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!

I spent two days searching for the undo and redo buttons. The Lucidchart help was of no use. I finally found out where they were after reading this post. As others have said, relocating the buttons to the most unintuitive location on the bottom right and making them smaller is most unwelcome and has wasted my time.

omg, who decided that! That is the most unintuive unintuitive location ever for the undo button to be located. Please move it back.

​@Sharon D ​@ohm.cm thank you for this feedback. I certainly understand why this is an important feature. Detailed comments like yours, along with upvoting this post, are great ways of showing your support for this to be implemented. 

It isn’t so much where it moved to, but that it took me 30 minutes of frustration and then I had to go look up where it had moved to.  It only gave me ‘cntl z’….so frustrating!

Hi ​@Melea, 

Thanks for providing your feedback! I understand your frustration and your insight is greatly appreciated!
