Using Multiple Level Undo in the Domino Designer 6 Editor

The editor in Domino Designer 6 has the ability to do a multi-level undo. Changes made can be reversed out if desired. You can also "undo" the undo! If you decide to undo a change you can go forward and reverse the undo. This undo feature works for editing formula language, LotusScript, Java, and JavaScript editors. Once the editor pane for that design element is closed then history of changes is lost for that design element. A change can not be undone if it was made in another editing session.





Procedure: Undoing a Change

To undo a change use the <CTRL><Z> key combination (hold down the CTRL key and press Z.) This is a multiple level undo. Every time <CTRL><Z> is pressed you will go back to the next previous version of the code.




Procedure: Reversing the Undo
To reverse the undo use the <CTRL><Y> key combination (hold down the CTRL key and press Y.) Every time <CTRL><Y> is pressed you will put back the changes that were reversed by using <CTRL><Z>.
