A cautionary tale for all...
I keep all my SPP product pages in one hidden section, ordered alphabetically. The site has duplicates, often in several places. Getting new products into alphabetical order within the master section is a large drag-and-drop operation, and can take a while.
I was doing the last drag-and-drop of the day, and switched to another application to do something else while waiting. When I switched back to Actinic, the whole list of sections being moved had disappeared, gone, vanished. 80% of my products.
I tried several things but was forced to restored a previous snapshot - loosing a whole day's worth of new products.
This problem has been mentioned before and I *think* I know what happened. Previously, I have noticed that Actinic is using the Windows Cut-and-Paste buffer to move sections around when you drag and drop. This buffer is shared by all applications on the desktop - so any other cut-and-paste operations (which I was doing at the time) could interfere with Actinic. This doesn't always happen as there are ways for Windows apps to mark the buffer contents and prevent this. This is just my theory.
I don't know if this behaviour still exists beyond V7
