    Sometimes in our eagerness to share creations, we don't check updates as closely as we should. The Level card below illustrates an instance. The previous version had a shortcut where the slider that releases the win block could be pushed into the structure, triggering an automatic win.

    The creator put in a structure to prevent the automatic win. As you'll see in the cutaway, a stray stone block got inserted that stops a lift B needs to win. The level was not winnable as a result. The update was posted, confusing players who thought there must be hidden elements they couldn't find.

    The moral of this cautionary tale? Test to make sure your updates don't stop your levels from working as intended. Thanks to @gmacpro and @Black1226 for their assistance.
