Make sure you have the windows 10 creator update applied to your computer, this solved it for me.

Hi there,

I understand it could be annoying and sorry for the trouble that you're facing with undo function not working. Here are some steps that may help.

  • SaveAs to a new file.
  • Remove any items you added before the copy/paste
  • Make edits to the master component
  • Remove items from the instances you don’t wish to see the edit.

Please let me know if this works for you. I'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please try the suggestion shared in this similar discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/undo-or-ctrl-z-not-working-at-xd/m-p/9193689?page=4#M2772

 

If that doesn't help, please share a few more details like:

 

  1. Are you able to undo in paint application?
  2. Are you able to undo in XD by going to edit in the menu and clicking on Undo?

Hi Sampath,

 

Sorry for the delay in response. The undo option is available once you right click on the artboard you will be able to get the undo option. Please see the attached image-

Yes, that works. A quicker workaround is simply pressing Alt+Tab, and switching back to Xd again.

Same here, i think this bug is something i have since the first version of XD. After a certain amount of time working on a document, i cannot use the undo hotkey or the right-click undo with context menue. How can it be, that this bug still not fixed?

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear you are experiencing issue with Undo and right click. Would you mind telling me if any specific action is triggering this behavior? What is the OS and XD version of your machine? Is it happening on a specific file or all the files? Have you tried switching your focus for a while from XD app to a different app and then switch back to XD and see if that helps?

 

Thanks,

Harshika

I am still having issues with the Undo in Adobe XD. Please fix this already. It is really annoying to close and restart the application everytime when this bug occurs to get the undo-function working again. I mean i really love it that you guys add new features with every update. But this bug is existing like the first XD Version and it is still not fixed. I dont think it has something to do wioth any Windows/Mac updates since it is something i notived since the very beginning of XD on different machines.

 

Please Adobe, look into this and fix it.

 

Thanks.

Hello

 

It seems that many people have encountered this problem. I found some reasons of why it appeared. In the color picker, there's an input field of opacity can be dragged. If you drag it, the CTRL + Z  will not work unless you reopen that file.

I'm using windows platform, It works for me , and I'm not sure this is the whole reason.

 

Thank you

Yes, i tried that out and it seems that this is the bug causing this error. The CTR+Z-Undo is not working anymore after i adjust the opacity in that opacity field. This is obviously a really really bad bug. Could you guys please try to fix this. It is really annoying. I am also on a Windows 10 Machine.

Yeah, super annoying that using the opacity slider within the gradient tool breaks CTRL-Z. This has been a bug a long time and I still have to restart XD every time I happen to use that slider. Please fix

Super annoying. I will return to Figma as soon as Adobe lets me. XD was such a "kind a hope" to justify the price of the adobe package. And it became terrible. Performance, Bugs and functionality aren't worth it.

Hi Adam,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I tested this on the latest build of XD which is 36.2 and on Windows 10 and it seems to be working. So could you please update XD to the latest version of XD and let us know if you need any further assistance.
