Undoing and Redoing Changes

When a document is open, you can undo the most recent change by pressing  Ctrl  +  Z , or clicking the Undo icon on the Standard toolbar, or choosing Edit → Undo from the menu bar.

The Edit menu shows the latest change that can be undone. Click the small triangle to the right of the Undo icon to get a list of all the changes that can be undone. You can select multiple changes and undo them at the same time.

After changes have been undone, Redo becomes active. To redo a change, select Edit → Redo, or press  Ctrl  +  Y  or click on the Redo icon . As with Undo, click on the triangle to the right of the arrow to get a list of the changes that can be reapplied.
