Undo and redo
Draft. This page is awaiting review and may change.
Made a mistake? The Undo and Redo buttons in the top bar step back and forward through your recent changes.
Where it works
Undo and redo are available in the editing screens:
- The Timeline, and inside a chapter: creating, renaming, deleting, moving and reordering chapters, scenes and folders.
- The scene editor: adding, editing, deleting, reordering, cutting, copying and pasting actions.
- The asset tabs (Characters, Scenery, BGM, SFX, Cutscenes, Variables): deleting items. Deleted assets come back with their file.
- The GUI tab, the Start screen and the Credits: each change you make there.
A deleted item comes back with everything inside it: undo a folder deletion and the folder returns with all its contents.
The rules
- The last 50 changes are remembered on each screen.
- History is per screen and per visit. When you leave a screen and come back, its history starts fresh, so you can't undo something you did before you left.
- A new change clears the redo list. After undoing, if you make a different change, the undone steps can't be redone.
- The buttons are greyed out when there is nothing to undo or redo.
What it can't do
- It can't undo a novel delete. There is no recycle bin, so make a backup first.
- It can't undo changes made in the reader, such as saves.
