Many people delete the shortcut because of this.

Other than using your own backup you can't undo it.

I can't believe this!!! I just lost everything!!! This short cut is like keeping a small bottle of hydrofluoric acid in the medicine cupboard, right next to the eye drops.

If there were no saves for 2 hours, even a local backup would not help.

It is easy to forget to save (we're all guilty). If I'm working on an complex file, I try to "Save As" every hour or so. That way I always have a "fall-back" file.

Install the plugin Autosaviour. There's even a free version available.

This is infuriating, I just lost a good hour of work because I accidentally hit revert. I'm normally really fast with my hotkey presses (was reaching for cmd alt p for art boards) so I can't fathom what brilliant developer thought this was a good idea. It's late I have a tight deadline and I'm now on a mission to have this removed from the entire adobe suite. Honestly what kind of a useless short cut to have on CC. Can they at least make a revert for the revert itself?
