What are Undo and Redo?
Everyone makes mistakes — and that is fine! Undo takes you back one step, as if the last change never happened. Redo does the opposite: it brings back a change you just undid. Together they let you experiment freely, knowing you can always go back.
The Two Tools
Undo
Goes back one step. If you trim, delete or record something you didn't mean to, Undo puts it right back.
Redo
Brings back a change you just undid. Handy if you change your mind after using Undo.
Keyboard Shortcuts
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + Z | Undo the last change |
| Ctrl + Y | Redo the change you undid |
On a Mac, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.
Handy Tips!
• Experiment freely: Try things out — you can always undo if you don't like the result.
• Undo more than once: Keep pressing Undo to go back several steps.
• Changed your mind? Redo brings your change straight back.
• Need an older milestone? Undo is for recent edits. Use Version History to return to an earlier saved stage of the whole project.
Common Questions
How many times can I undo?
You can undo several steps in a row to go back through your recent changes.
Why is the Redo button greyed out?
Redo only works right after you have used Undo. If you make a new change, there is nothing to redo.
Does Undo work after I save?
Undo works on the changes in your current session. Once you save, your file is stored as it is at that moment.
