Undo and redo
Editing involves experimentation — moving things around, trying different cuts, and sometimes realizing a change was not what you wanted. PublishFi tracks every action you take in the editor so you can step backward or forward through your history at any time, without worrying about breaking something permanently.
How to undo and redo
There are two ways to undo and redo:
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Undo — press Ctrl+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Z (Mac)
- Redo — press Ctrl+Shift+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Z (Mac)
Toolbar buttons: The timeline toolbar includes an Undo button and a Redo button. When there is nothing to undo, the undo button appears dimmed. When there is nothing to redo, the redo button appears dimmed.
What gets tracked
PublishFi's undo history covers the full range of changes you make in the editor, including:
- Edits made in the transcript panel (deleting or restoring words)
- Splitting clips on the timeline
- Moving clips and adjusting their positions
- Adding or removing design elements
- Resizing clips and effects layers
- Changing properties in the Inspector panel, such as animation settings
- Reordering layers in the Layers panel
Each of these actions is recorded as a separate step, so you can undo them one by one in reverse order.
Session-based history
Undo history is tied to your current editing session. If you close the browser tab, refresh the page, or navigate away from the editor, the history is cleared. Your saved project is not affected — only the in-memory list of steps you can walk back through.
Tip: The keyboard shortcut is the fastest way to undo. If you are on a Mac, Cmd+Z to undo and Cmd+Shift+Z to redo is the standard behavior you may already be familiar with from other creative tools. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z respectively.
