How to undo most actions

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 Issues.
