This feature is simple but a lifesaver if you accidentally apply a change to the wrong issue or multiple issues at once.

How to undo most actions

Type Cmd/Ctrl Z to undo actions and Cmd/Ctrl Shift Z to redo them. It works similarly to how undo works in other desktop applications.
We support undo for most actions in the app including changes to issue fields (e.g. status, move to archive, assignee) and notifications (e.g. mark all as read). You can undo or redo actions applied to single issues as well as those applied to multiple issues at once.
Upon undo, the app will take you to the page where you took the action and, in list views, select all of the associated issues or notifications. A toast describing any changes will appear in the bottom right of the app whenever you undo or redo an action. To reverse an undo or redo, simply do its opposite. Undo will not work to undo issue creation; in this situation we recommend canceling and then archiving the issue. Learn more in Archive and Deleted IssuesArchive and Deleted Issues.

How to revert issue descriptions

If you updated an issue description and want to change it back to a previous version, click to edit the issue. Then open the command line with Cmd/Ctrl K and search for revert issue description.
