    I'm not bothered by this because for so many years Fm only had one undo and we had to figure out how to fix mistakes without the aid of multiple undos, but I do know a few off the top of my head, Klaus, because I encounter them so frequently when teaching these features. They tend it be page-related: Margins & Columns, Page Size, Pagination. Master Page Usage, Customize Text Frame all come to mind. This commands will clear history so that you can't choose undo after you use one of them.

     

    Save isn't on that list, Amit. As you get used to this idiosyncrasy of FrameMaker, I would suggest working with the View > Undo History panel open, so that you can see what activities are clearing history. As I said, I don't pay attention to it, but it might be important to you to know which commands are doing this.

    There are still some commands, which can not be undone. I have no example at hand though.

    Hi Amit,

    I just tested it.

    You can undo, also when you had saved your file.

    Can you describe, what happens? What do you want to undo?

    What is the setting in the Edit menu in the Preferences in the Global/Alerts section? There is an option Show warnings while cleaing history. This just says that there are operations which will clean the history. With this option you can switch off these warnings.

    Best regards, Winfried

    If I change anything (text, images, etc.) and and save the document, I am unable to undo it. I don't know why. I am sharing the screenshot of preferences>Alert. Pls check and guide.
