Undo an action in Trello

You can undo recent actions that you’ve taken by pressing the Z keyboard shortcut. Press Shift + Z to redo an action that you’ve undone.

Each time you press it, your most recent card action will be undone. For example, if you add a label to a card, pressing Z while viewing that card will remove that label. Pressing Z again will undo the next action you took.

Please note that you can only undo your own actions. When working on a card collaboratively, be careful about undoing changes to a card's description — by reverting a description to a previous draft, you may lose a collaborator’s edits.

Deleting something in Trello is a permanent action. Undo cannot reverse deletion of a card, list, label, custom field, etc.

If you delete a description and need to recover it, you can try reviewing the card’s JSON file. It’s not easily readble, but the old descriptions will be saved there. Recovering the description or card name that was changed
