Undoing and Redoing Actions in the Formula Grid

You can undo and redo actions that you have performed in the formula grid on a draft formula.

This task shows you how to:

Undo Actions

Do one of the following:

To undo the last action, click Undo .
To undo multiple actions, click the arrow next to Undo , and select the earliest action that you want to undo. All actions from this action onward are undone.

Note: The maximum number of actions in the Undo list is 10.

There are some actions that you cannot undo. These fall into two categories:

Actions that affect the user interface view, but not formula data. Examples are:
- Creating, opening, cloning, and closing formulas
- Toggling between the main view and the summary view of a formula
- Changing the layout of columns (adding, deleting, renaming, reordering, resizing)
- Showing and hiding certain row types (showing and hiding processing instructions, expanding and collapsing composite ingredient rows)
- Changing settings that affect the display of the formula but not its data, such as summary view options
Actions that cannot be undone other reasons, typically because they involve other applications, or because they are irreversible by design. Examples are:
- Generating reports
- Linking formulas to Scientific Notebook experiments
- Marking formulas as reviewed

Do one of the following:

To redo the last undone action, click Redo .
To redo multiple undone actions, click the arrow next to Redo , and select the most recent action that you want to redo. All undone actions up to the selected action are redone.
