How to redo and undo in Google Sheets
To use the "Redo" and "Undo" commands in Google Sheets, follow these steps:
- Open the Google Sheets document you want to modify.
- To undo a change, click the “Undo” icon at the top left corner of a worksheet, or click the "Edit" option in the top menu, then select the "Undo" option from the drop-down menu. This will undo the most recent change you made to the document.
- To redo a change, click the “Redo” icon at the top left corner of a worksheet, or click the "Edit" option in the top menu, then select the "Redo" option from the drop-down menu. This will redo the most recent change you undid in the document.
Note 1: You can’t undo the changes you make out of your worksheet, such as “Make a copy” or “Rename” in the “File” menu.
Note 2: You can use the “Redo” command only when you have undone something.
Note 3: It is important to remember that you can redo or undo your action before the document is saved. In that case, you can navigate to “Version history” in the “File” tab.
You have learned how to redo or undo from the menu bar or toolbar, but we highly recommend using shortcuts for redoing or undoing because they save lots of time.
