How to undo old edits in Notion
You can use the Page history to revert it back to a specific time and date.
This feature is especially useful when you don’t want to undo changes one by one and just want your page to be the way it was at a certain point. Here’s how you can access it on any device:
- Go to the upper right corner of the screen and click on the three dots icon.
- Enter Page history.
- Locate the version you wish to restore in the right table. You will be able to see what the page looked like before when you click on a date.
- Click on the Restore version blue button on the bottom right.
The available page history days depend on your Notion plan; Free users get up to 7 days. If the version you want to restore is out of the scope of your plan, Notion will ask you if you want to upgrade.
Takeaway
To summarize, you can undo changes with Control/Command + Z, tapping the Undo arrow, or reverting the page with Page history.
If you want to seamlessly sync your tasks and events from and to Notion with other third-party tools in real time, including customized map fields and filters, 1-way sync and 2-way syncs, and tailored sync settings for your specific use case, give 2sync a try.
