How to undo and redo changes
In the TeleportHQ editor, click the Undo arrow above the canvas (or press Ctrl+Z, Cmd+Z on a Mac) to reverse your last change, and Redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z, Cmd+Shift+Z on a Mac) to bring it back. Undo only remembers the changes you made yourself since you opened the project. To go back further, restore a backup.
Steps
- Make a change on the canvas, for example delete a section.
- In the canvas top bar, click the Undo button (hover over the arrows to see the tooltip). The last change is reversed.
- Click Undo again to reverse the change before that, and so on.
- To bring a change back, click the Redo button next to it.
Keyboard shortcuts:
| Action | Windows | Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Undo | Ctrl+Z | Cmd+Z |
| Redo | Ctrl+Shift+Z | Cmd+Shift+Z |
Check that it worked
The canvas shows the page as it was before your last change. When there is nothing left to undo, the Undo button is greyed out. When there is nothing to redo, Redo is greyed out.
Troubleshooting
Undo is greyed out after I reloaded the page TeleportHQ keeps undo history only in your current browser tab. Reloading, closing the tab or leaving the project clears it. Your work is still saved automatically, but earlier steps can't be undone. To go back to an older state, restore a backup. See How to back up and restore your project.
Ctrl+Z only changed the text I was typing While you're typing inside a text element or a field in the settings panel, Ctrl+Z undoes your typing, like in any text box. Click an empty part of the canvas, then press Ctrl+Z again to undo editor changes.
Undo didn't reverse a teammate's change Undo only covers changes you made. Changes made by collaborators, or by you in another browser tab, aren't in your undo history. Ask your teammate to undo them, or change the element back by hand.
Undo doesn't bring back a screen size I removed Some actions can't be undone, including:
- Saving changes in Breakpoints Settings (adding, removing or resizing screen sizes). Removing a screen size deletes its styles for good.
- Changing who can access the project, or removing a collaborator.
- AI Tailor project to my business runs.
- Many automatic setup steps run by AI and by features such as the online store or data sources.
For these, take a backup first (backups aren't included in the trial). See How to back up and restore your project.
My whole undo history disappeared If an undo step fails, TeleportHQ clears the undo and redo history so your project stays consistent. Your saved work isn't affected.
Good to know
- No step limit. You can undo as many of your own changes as you made in the session.
- Big actions count as one step. A multi-step action, such as an AI design refinement or one request to the AI Assistant, is undone with one click.
- Undo doesn't change your live site. If you already published, publish again after undoing.
- Folder renames can't be undone. Rename the folder again instead.
- AI changes. To reverse changes made by the AI Assistant, see How to undo changes made by the AI Assistant.
