Filter undo and redo for editing

On the Quick Access toolbar, you can filter the undo stack and roll back a selected range of edits without undoing mapping changes, such as your layer visibility settings.

The undo filter settings are available when the undo stack contains at least one mapping operation and one editing operation.

Note:

You cannot undo editing operations made to nonversioned data in an enterprise geodatabase.

To learn more about the toolbar, see Quick Access Toolbar.

      The default setting is All.
