#### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Undo (CTRL+Z) must always not, not sometimes only.  
This impacts confidence in the use of the tool and degrades the UX (because you’re implementing palliatives to this problem).

#### HOW COULD IT BE DONE?

Build an undo process that can work everywhere.

#### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

> WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Here is the problem : Add a “link to” to a file object (as a PDF) Clic to open the menu and change text style to what you want Observe : You loose “Preview” options, you have now the classic “text” menu Try to restore your like : try undo, it doesn’t work; try choose text style, it doesn’t change anything So, you have to redo you link… If using a Texts style as proposed in the contextual menu broke our link, I think it’s a bad UX.

> WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND A possibility to mark task as undone that was marked as done a moment ago by using UNDO (cmd+z) HOW COULD IT BE DONE Application should consider changing “done” status for tasks as modification of the content and thus should be undoable. REAL WORLD USE CASES You have a view that filters only undone tasks. If you by accident mark some wrong task as done it’s gone from a view and you will have to go and find it to mark it as undone. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES Don’t make “und…

> WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? Mass publishing is very welcome! But it’s still laborious to use. Not least because you have to click on validate to save and then confirm that you’re sure! Other applications update as soon as you make a change: it’s really fast and pleasant! Not to mention Notion, which is awesome in terms of UX at this level… (And if you make a mistake, CTRL+Z works just fine). So, okay, why not have to press “Save” to save, not a fan at all, but why not. On the other hand, the e…
