I’m kinda new to this (devforum posting), but i just wanted to talk about this since i haven’t seen anyone mention it despite this problem occurring for months or longer.
Basically, if you delete something in studio (for example, a part), theres a VERY rare chance that it never comes back even if you try to undo it. I have no idea what’s causing this, but I know that it’s extremely rare but kinda devastating whenever it happens. I am aware that there are ways to restore versions of your game, and yes that is a solution to this bug if it ever happens to you. Unfortunately this time around, I didn’t have a good copy of the game, but the damage thankfully wasn’t too bad.
This bug has the potential to permanently destroy parts of your game if you don’t have a backup, and it’s pretty annoying.

Hi Cyber! Unfortunately sometimes plugins or other tooling can error when attempting to undo an action, which can be really frustrating. When this happens, an error will usually show up in studio’s output telling you what went wrong. The next time you notice this, please make a topic following the How to post a Bug Report guide, including reproducible steps.
As for this type of issue deleting work, Roblox actually has a built in version history that allows you to roll a place back to a previous state!
- Access your experience via the Create page on the Creator Hub and click on the thumbnail
- Navigate to the places tab and select the place you wish to view the version history of
- From the Version tab, you can now select the version of the place you wish to rollback to.
Don’t worry about data loss, selecting from this menu will create a new version of the place, so here if I select version 6, it will create a version 9 of the place identical to the place at version 6. I can then open it in Studio, save it as a local copy or publish it to a new place. Then I can select version 8, the last edits I made before I rolled back, which will create a version 10 of my place identical to my most recent changes.
If you have team create enabled, these versions will include every team create autosave that occurs, otherwise they’ll just include every time you save your place manually.
