I’ve brought this up before. We need to be able to Undo everything. Today I accidentally grabbed and moved a text block out of a Global. Undo did nothing. My entire project was goofed up. My only solution was to quit without saving and lose a lot of work. Seems like I can’t save often enough.

It doesn’t help now but, when I stop typing a document/website/project/etc and pause to think, I almost automatically hit Cmd-S

Saving more often is a workaround. We need Elements Undo to work on every action. That’s the solution.

Sorry, I disagree. Saving is not a workaround, it is learned from bitter experience. That’s almost like saying backups are a workaround.  
I agree undo should work, but whilst it doesn’t……..

@RussOggi255 I agree, I did say “Saving **more often** ” is a workaround. And please keep in mind my concern is the lack of and the inability of Elements to UNDO,
