How do I recover ctrl z after revocation?5 methods, there is always one that works for you

Ctrl+Z is used to "undo" the operation on the computer. Sometimes an important step is undone by mistake during an operation, and it is necessary to know how to restore the undone operation. This article will introduce various ways to help recover data after Ctrl+Z.

Ctrl+z is used for undo, and usually the system "redoes" with Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z (partially applied). This step re-executes the undone operation and returns to its previous state.

Many software offer a history feature that records every step taken in the operation. By looking at the history, you can find and revert to a previous state.

In apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more, you can view the history by tapping the View tab in the menu, and then selecting Undo or Redo under Undo in the Edit group. In the pop-up history window, you can select the specific operation you want to restore.

In graphic design software such as Photoshop, you can track and revert back to previous steps by looking at the History panel. In the History panel, you can click on the corresponding history entry to return to that step.

For projects that are programmers or team-based collaboration, version control tools such as git, svn, etc., provide more powerful undo and redo capabilities.

If you are using git for versioning, you can use the following command to revert to a previous version:

git log to view commit history, git reset head n n is the number of steps for rollback, git push origin branch name --force force push to remote branch

For Windows operating systems, you can use the System Restore feature to restore your computer to a previous point in time, including rolling back to the state before a file was deleted or changed.

In the Windows operating system, you can find the System Restore option by pressing the Win + S keys and then typing in "Create Restore Point". In System Restore, select Restore to a previous state and follow the wizard.

If none of the above methods meet your needs, you can try a professional file recovery software. This type of software is usually able to deeply scan the storage device to retrieve deleted or modified files.

1. When trying to undo the undone operation, be careful not to perform the operation too many times to avoid confusing the undone status. When using file recovery software, run the software as early as possible to maximize the success rate of file recovery.

2. If you are not sure how to operate, it is recommended to back up your data first to avoid data loss due to improper operation.

Overall, while Ctrl+Z undos the action, it's not entirely impossible to get back to your previous state. By re-executing, viewing the history of the software, using version control tools, system restore, or file recovery software, you have a variety of ways to revert back to the previous state and minimize the loss caused by misuse.
