undo
Hi,
please can someone tell me if there is a way to undo a change made on many books, like “go back” or “undo”?
Thank you and bye

See the Audit Log plugin ==>> Index of plugins

It maintains a log of changes, and it has a rudimentary undo. I've never used it.

The undo feature doesn't work, just throws an error. Plugin also massively inflates the database size. Wouldn't recommend myself.

Hi Kovid, I understand that it would be very complicated to implement, but I think it would be very useful, you know what they say: ‘errare umanum est’, on the other hand all high level computer programs give users the possibility to retrace their steps if they make a mistake.
Thanks,
Gianni

That would be a big help if there's an undo option
