Every editing action can be stepped back: adding media, deleting it, moving, resizing, rotating, restyling text, reordering layers, and changing the layout.
How to undo
- Undo and redo buttons in the editor, on every platform.
- Cmd/Ctrl + Z to undo and Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z (or Cmd/Ctrl + Y) to redo, in the browser and desktop apps.
The buttons grey out when there is nothing left to step through in that direction.
What counts as one step
Steps are grouped by pause rather than by event, so a continuous drag is one undo rather than several hundred. Stop, do something else, and the next edit starts a new step.
That is why undoing after a long drag returns the media to where it started, not to a point midway through the drag.
History holds 50 steps
The last 50 edits are kept on every platform. Older steps drop off the end, so undo will not walk you back to the beginning of a long session.
Redo is discarded when you edit
Standard behaviour, worth stating: undo three steps, then make a new edit, and the three redo steps are gone. The new edit becomes the tip of the history.
Undo does not survive the session
History belongs to the editing session.
On the browser and desktop apps this matters more than it sounds, because those platforms do not save projects at all — closing the tab loses both the history and the work. Export before you close. See projects and where your work is saved.
On Android and iOS the project itself is saved to the device, so closing the app keeps your work even though the undo history does not come back with it.
