Undo and Redo

Align keeps a history of the changes you make on the timeline, so you can reverse a change you made by mistake and then reapply it.

What Can Be Undone

You can undo and redo these changes:

  • Move: dragging a time block to a new time or day
  • Resize: changing a time block's start or end by dragging its edge
  • Mark as Done and Mark as Not Done: completing a time block or reopening it
  • Delete: deleting a time block that doesn't repeat

Deleting a repeating time block can't be undone.

Undo on iPhone

Use the system's three-finger gestures:

  1. Undo: swipe left with three fingers, or double-tap with three fingers
  2. Redo: swipe right with three fingers

Shaking your iPhone doesn't undo timeline changes. While you are typing in a text field, shaking still offers to undo your typing.

Undo with a Keyboard

On iPad with a keyboard attached:

  • Press ⌘Z to undo
  • Press ⇧⌘Z to redo

You can also use the Edit menu. It names the change it reverses, for example Undo Move, Undo Resize or Redo Delete.

How It Works

  • Each window has its own history. With several Align windows open on iPad, undo in one window only reverses changes made in that window.
  • Changes made elsewhere end an undo. If a time block was changed or deleted since, for example in another window, in the Calendar app or on another device, undoing the change to it does nothing and the entry is removed from the history.
