We have a number of blocks we’re using in a structured content field. These include some pretty complex things, like a table builder.
All it takes is a click on the x to remove all the work that went into building one of these. As this is destructive, it should at least have the option to give a verification popup on delete.
Does undo (ctrl-Z/cmd-Z) not restore that block, if you haven’t saved the record yet?
I didn’t think of that until later. It does work, but you have to click into the field to focus it again first, so there are still some UX issues here. It’s not immediately obvious that undo works.
Hmm, gotcha… let’s ping our UX designer @m.balocco here to see if he has any input!
(Matteo, it might not be obvious that Structured Text undo can restore deleted blocks, or that it even has an undo function?)
@fitzage @roger My advise would be to use autosave: Record auto-save - Plugins — DatoCMS
However the “Undo button on ST” proposal makes sense.
You should create a feature request.
@roger When you clicked to delete the block, your cursor remained in the text, so you could hit undo immediately. This doesn’t happen for us. I wonder if this is another Firefox vs Chrome focus issue.
@m.balocco I’ll install that plugin. This should help with some concerns users have had around potential data loss.
@m.balocco When I install the auto-save plugin, it doesn’t load, and I get all this in the console. I tried bypassing my ad blocking, but that didn’t help.

@fitzage fixed on v1.0.1, seems like an npm package broke, sorry about that!
@m.finamor Hmm, trying to install it from within the CMS shows the version as 0.25 (even though it says it was updated today), and it still doesn’t work.
It takes about one hour for the release to be updated in the marketplace
OK, I went back later and got version 1.0.0, which still has the same problem. Not seeing 1.0.1 yet.
