Adding an UNDO feature in Activity tab

While that’s good news, from the way you word this it seems you are still moving in the weird, non-standard Undo implementation of the few items that allow undo at the moment - i.e. the floating bubble that lets you undo a few choice things.

Every other app in the world has a standard undo feature, with a standard history, standard keystrokes, etc.

Anything you do in the app should have an undo, simple as that. If you can change data, you need to be able to change it back.

Here to say again how critical this is. It’s so easy to be in the item card view and accidentally select all items on the board behind that window and not realized that any chance you make is now made on every.single.item.

ANND now our team has to manually edit 342 items X 2 for the two fields that were accidentally bulk-changed. :exploding_head: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I am baffled that it has taken so long to implement this. The fact that it wasn’t a top priority for Q1 2024 is frustrating.

Current keyboard shortcuts include Search, Copy, Paste and Cut. It would save so much time being able to ‘undo’ with Control/Command + Z.

Agree x100 please make this a feature!

I agreed. this will be very useful

Yes!!! Please allow the ability to undo errors made while updating data in the boards. I can’t count how many times I have had to re-enter data. The only undo option is right clicking within the browser which only takes you back 1 step.

Simple: Being able to go back to any previous state with a CTRL+Z / CTRL+Shit+Z
Mainly used for items, groups, status, boards, data deletion, columns, groups, etc…

I believe we all had the issue when we accidentally deleted the phone number, email or other important information from an item card. If we had a redo and undo button, this will be a life saver!

Way to implement it: Have the redo and undo button on the top of the board with the rest of the tools. As well as redo and undo buttons in the item card view.

Yes! An undo function (like in Excel) is definitely needed.

I can’t believe there’s no undo. It’s driving me crazy! It also makes me not to trust the tool with any important data, since it’s so easy to wipe it out by accident.

I’m sure we have all accidentally deleted a phone number or changed an address on accident! As someone who uses monday.com as our CRM, we cannot accidentally delete this information! An undo/redo button is SO needed to avoid small mistakes like this!!

The permanent Undo button to enable undo more than one action instead of current Undo popup lasting 30 seconds with undo only one action.
This would be the epic feature! I think customers could love this in Monday :wink:

Unfortunately it is all too easy to accidently delete data from a board and it seems that such actions cannot be undone and the date cannot be recovered.

This has happened a few times to our team members and we can only restore the deleted data by copypasting it from other systems.

An undo last action button would be very useful to instantly correct such mistakes or having the ability to lock columns to stop data being deleted so easily.

I’m really surprised this doesn’t exist. I’m not a programmer/coder, but this seems like a simple feature to implement. We’ve had the same issue where something gets easily deleted and then we are either out of luck or have to hunt down the data elsewhere.

Hello, can we please have this be a feature? Very very concerned about how many basic features like this still aren’t yet implemented despite years of people asking for them. The deeper my org gets into Monday, the more I realized how unfinished the whole system is. @BiancaT
