Undo

Undo takes back the last change made to a playlist, so you can edit without being overly careful. Press it again to go further back: the last 20 changes of the last 7 days are kept. Follow these steps to take back a change.

Steps

1. Find the button: Look in the top bar of the editor, left of New and Tools. Undo only shows when there is something to take back.
2. See what it undoes: Point at Undo. The hint names the change it takes back, for example Undo: Fix names on 3 channels.
3. Undo: Click Undo, or press Ctrl+Z. A message says how many items were put back, and the grid shows them as they were. Click again to take back the change before it.
4. Bring it back (optional): Click Redo, or press Ctrl+Shift+Z, to bring back what you took back. Redo works until you make a new change.
5. Look before you undo (optional): Click the clock icon next to Undo. A list shows the last changes. Click the ⓘ next to one: a window lists every channel and group it changed, with the old value and the new one. Click Undo this there, or close the window to keep the change.
6. Go back several steps at once (optional): In the same list, click a change to take back everything up to and including it.

What Undo covers

• Renaming, moving, sorting, reordering and renumbering channels.
• Deleting channels and groups.
• Renaming, merging, reordering and deleting groups, and setting their country.
• Setting logos and TV guide ids, by hand or with the matching tools.
• Adding or duplicating a channel.
• Folding copies into one channel, linking or detaching fallbacks, and setting the main source.

What Undo does not cover

• A refresh from your provider and Posters & info runs. To go back from those, restore a backup. More in Backups and restore.
• Deleting for good from the bin and Empty bin.
• Deleting a playlist.

Good to know

• Important: A new change clears Redo. This is so that Redo never puts back something on top of a change you made later.
• Undo is shared per playlist. It takes back the last change, whoever made it: you, a script with your API key or an AI assistant. More in API.
• Tip: A finished run in the console's Activity opens the same window when you click it, with the run's numbers on top. Every run keeps its full list there for a day — every channel it changed, before and after — also a run without Undo, like an Auto refresh or a check. A self-hosted box sets how long in Settings → Refresh & checks → Keep activity details.
• Tip: Before a big clean-up, take a backup with Back up now. That gives you a way back that reaches further than 20 steps or 7 days. More in Backups and restore.
