The undo feature allows you to reverse actions you made in a workspace in the reverse order they were applied. If you complete an action that cannot be undone, after you complete that action, you are not able to undo any actions that took place before it.
Note: Actions are on a per-session, per-member basis and are not a global function. Separate members logged in to the same workspace have different undo and redo histories.
How to Undo
To undo an action in the Web client, do either of the following:
- Select
(Undo) in the bottom left corner of the workspace. - Press and hold the Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac) keys on your keyboard immediately after performing the action.
Note: To undo multiple recent actions, press and hold the key combination repeatedly.
You can also redo an action, which negates the action you have undone.
How to Redo
To redo an action, do either of the following:
- Select
(Redo) in the bottom left corner of the workspace. - Press and hold the Ctrl+Y (Windows) or Command+Y (Mac) keys on your keyboard immediately after undoing an action. Alternatively, redo an action by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z (Windows) or Command+Shift+Z using (Mac).
Note: To redo multiple recent actions, press and hold the key combination repeatedly.
