When you perform an Undo, you\u2019re undoing the last action and restoring something to how it was before you made the change.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Redo allows you to repeat the last action you performed before the Undo, allowing you to change your mind and repeat your last change. Redo is almost an undo for Undo, if that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>In the Mac lineage, Undo originated software for the the Xerox Alto computer created in the 1970s\u2014specifically, in a word processor called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bravo_(editor)\">Bravo<\/a>. Apple borrowed many interface elements from Alto software when designing the Apple Lisa (1983), and many of those traditions carried forward to the Macintosh one year later. Today, Undo and Redo are basically a universal part of computer interfaces on every major computer platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Macintosh System 1: What Was Apple&#8217;s Mac OS 1.0 Like?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Undo_and_Redo_Using_the_%E2%80%9CEdit%E2%80%9D_Menu\"><\/span>How to Undo and Redo Using the \u201cEdit\u201d Menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to perform an Undo action is by using an option in the menu bar at the top of your Mac\u2019s screen. When you need to Undo, select \u201cEdit\u201d in the menu bar, then choose \u201cUndo\u201d in the menu that pops up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-764299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mac_edit_undo.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"To Undo on a Mac, select Edit &gt; Undo in the menu bar.\" width=\"650\" height=\"132\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUndo\u201d is almost always the very first option, and sometimes the \u201cUndo\u201d command will change to include the action you\u2019re undoing, such as \u201cUndo Move\u201d or \u201cUndo Typing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, you can also perform a Redo using the Edit menu. Click \u201cEdit\u201d in the menu bar, then select \u201cRedo\u201d in the list. It\u2019s usually the second option in the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-764300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mac_edit_redo.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"To Redo on a Mac, select Edit &gt; Redo in the menu bar.\" width=\"650\" height=\"132\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t see Undo or Redo in the menu bar\u2014or a menu bar at all, for that matter\u2014you can usually still perform an Undo or Redo using two keyboard shortcuts, which we\u2019ll cover below.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Undo_and_Redo_Using_Your_Keyboard\"><\/span>How to Undo and Redo Using Your Keyboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to use a keyboard shortcut to Undo the previous action you just performed, press Command+Z on your Mac keyboard. This is equivalent to selecting Edit &gt; Undo in the menu bar. (It\u2019s also similar to pressing Ctrl+Z on a Windows PC.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-764302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mac_undo_keyboard.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"To Undo on a Mac, press Command+Z on your keyboard.\" width=\"650\" height=\"443\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After performing an Undo, you can usually also Redo the last action by pressing Shift+Command+Z on your keyboard.

Use Undo and Redo as much as you\u2019d like. Some apps have multiple levels of Undo, where you can go back dozens of steps, while others only have one.
