Undoing, redoing, and repeating actions
You can easily correct mistakes, restore your work to an earlier state,
and repeat commands using the Undo, Redo, and Again commands.
The minimum and maximum number of times you can undo changes
can be changed on the General tab in the Preferences dialog box. See
General preferences on page 15.221.
To cancel an action: Choose Edit > Undo or press Com-
mand+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows). You can also open the Undos
palette by choosing Window > Palettes > Undos. In the palette, select
an action that you want to undo.
Not all actions can be canceled with the Undo command. Actions
that cannot be canceled include scrolling; closing or reverting to an
earlier version of a document; selecting and deselecting objects;
deleting settings in palettes; and saving documents.
To restore actions you canceled using Undo: Choose Edit >
Redo or select the Redo item in the Undos palette. You can choose
Edit > Redo multiple times to reinstate canceled actions in reverse
order.
To repeat a command or other action: Choose Again in the
Edit menu. When an action can be repeated, the Again command
includes the name of the action. For example, after you rotate an
object, the Again command appears as Rotate Again.
Not all actions can be repeated. The Again command isnt avail-
able if the previous action cant be repeated.
Tip
If you undo an action, it will
state Redo in the palette.
Select the Redo item if you
mistakenly undid an action.
