Unfortunately with all the changes we have made it is best to create a new app rather than trying to import an app from version 2.x of InteractBuilder. The creation of apps is much quicker especially an app previously created in an older version of the InteractBuilder.

multiple action sets can cause a mess in "manage action sets"
->
After that, even if I get to an item with two actions only, this is what I get:

We are currently fixing this.
Fixed in version 3.2.1.

reset an object to it's original state
Is there a way to reset an object (after scale and/or other animation) to it's original position and size? What I do now is reverse the animation in 0 ms, but this is tedious.

In case of an animation you could have a Move behavior set after the animation with the original coordonates.
In case of the scale, you will need two behaviors after: First a Scale ( in case you first scale the object to 50% you will then need a scale of 100%) then you will need a Move behavior to reset the element coordonates.

My page can not been seen in interact mode

There is another update coming out today that will convert your previous version app again and should resolve these issues.

Deleted hidden global text element still displaying in interact mode
Please offer a possible solution. Thank you.
A deleted global, hidden text element is still displaying in Interact Mode.
I suspect the problem is that global elements are not being deleted properly.
History:
I had a hidden global text element that was set to fade in on tap of another global image element. The hidden text element had an action to jump to another page on tap. It was working just fine until today when I noticed the action on the hidden global text element to jump to another page had stopped working.
So in Design mode, I deleted the hidden text element hoping to rebuild it and reset the action so it would work again. Problem is the deleted element is still displaying in Interact Mode but it is not displaying in Design mode so I can't click the text element to try to fix it or delete it again.
I cicked on the lightbulb icon in Design mode to show invisibles but it isn't showing the deleted text element. When I click the lightbulb icon in Interact mode it will turn the deleted hidden element on and off (even though the element isn't appearing on the stage in design mode).
I also tried selecting all in design mode and it is not showing the item as being on the stage.
I tried to clear the cache but get the error message below. I rebooted several times, problem still persists.
I also rebuilt the entire page and copied only the elements that were working ok and deleted the original page and the problem is still there. So I think the issue is that maybe global elements aren't being deleted properly by IB3.

Can you provide us with a small one page app that show this problem. I tried to recreate this bug but everything worked fine. When I delete the global text , it will dissapear from all the pages.
