Request To Add 'UNDO' Functionality In Workfront

WorkFront has no ability to 'undo last action' - in some cases this can be very troublesome - as it is quite easy to make a change to basic project behaviour, critical path and end dates.

An 'Undo' last change function would be very useful if the Project owner has in-advertantly made a change that has caused multiple activities to be impacted.

Even a - revert to last saved version function might be useful - at least allowing the project owner to go back to a version that they have already reviewed and approved with their team.

    This is absolutely needed. it could even be time limited, but give me a way to immediately undo my last action when I know I made a mistake.

      Agreed! An undo button is MUCH needed for those times a change is made accidentally and you dont recall what the previous field contained.

        Just giving this a bump b/c it happened in our environment yesterday. The entire project had to be scrapped and redone. If there had been an "Undo" function in place the project could have been saved.

        Thanks!

        I've seen reports of this concern since 2017 and it has not been incorporated.  That makes me think there is a reason.  Considering the amount of pain NOT having it has caused to the many users, I am genuinely surprised.  What might be beneficial to the lost human-power hours wasted trying to undo concerns created at the click of a global button?

        Bumping this again, because we're literally going through the ringer right now, due to an inadvertent change.


        Could we please get the ability to undo changes? At least immediately?

        Even if only to the last action, and not through the list of actions in the past.

          It is a shame that this was first reported in 2018 and it is 2025 and this still hasnt occured

            Agreed!! This is essential functionality that should be supported out of the box to easily recover from accidental actions.

              Some of our users were asking about an ‘undo’ option the other day. Even an ‘undo’ that was constrained to the Project ‘Task’ view would be an improvement.

              ​@Srinija_N ​@user01245 This is essentially available with the Plan Mode, although it does need to be selected before a user starts making changes to their project and they need to be sure to save their changes once they are satisfied with them. From the Plan Mode, they just need to select Manual save here:
