How to UNDO a revert in Illustrator CC????

[toranje]

Seriously Adobe!!!! Adding a shortcut that's close to cmd-Z that REVERTS your entire project!!! Just lost 2 hours of work!! How do I undo this revert????????????

[Monika Gause · Accepted solution]

Many people delete the shortcut because of this.

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

Hi, thanks so much. I've deleted that silly shortcut - I don't know why they would ship new software with a shortcut that sits so close to cmd-z that you can't undo..

[mattc62414219]

Even further so, that is how you undo multiple steps in photoshop. Come on Adobe!!! Extremely weakly thought out user experience for Christ's sake!!!

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.

Yeah, I was working on a deadline, and was sketching and got in the zone, and when I meant to cmd-z a pop-up appeared and I dismissed it and with it my work! Angry at myself mostly, but still a bad idea to ship something that permanent with the new suite. It's just not something you expect to happen accidentally.... ever! Lesson learned  

[rcraighead]

Agreed. Not using CC so  have not run into that. Surely Adobe could find a suitable "Auto-Save" option for Illustrator. "Save-A-Copy" every set number of minutes would be nice.

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?

[rcraighead]

Even if you delete the shortcut, I'd recommend working on a "synced" folder such as Dropbox or GoogleDrive. Then you can always retrieve an earlier version of the file.

That's not even a good shortcut to have when you're working extensively on a project! Adobe, what were you thinking!?

How do you remove this stupid shortcut?

Cheers

[Larry G. Schneider]

The same way you modify any keyboard shortcut. From Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts (should be the second from the bottom) find the shortcut you want to modify (should in the Menu Commands).

Champion!!! Thanks!

Done and dusted!!

Wow. I just got nailed by this. No I hadn't saved, was about to, just primming the doc a bit more. I have spent about 1 - 1-1/2 hours on these changes that I need to get to legal ASAP. I'm screwed.  I will do the shortcut now. And yes, I too cannot believe that for 4-5 years this has not been address in a 'release' rather than a task the user must implement.

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.

[diegocatto]

silly short cut. very silly.

[cvstudent]

Happened to me today!  Thanks for the recommendation to delete the shortcut. But I too lost several hours of work.  Live and learn.  I think the biggest issue I worry about is not being able to render as good a version as I originally created. But then fortunately, the zen in me remembers: "practice makes perfect" and this version will be much better.  LOL Arrrrgh!

[cruxworld]

unbelievable!! it still can except the reality that I have lost all my work!! Adobe you should take note.

[dianab62794746]
