Undo and Redo Icons

[thomas.dahl]

I have been searching everywhere on how I can add the typical undo and redo icons on the tool bar.  Where are they?

And please..  do not tell me that they do not exist.  This would be a big issue for me.

Thanks

I'm afraid you have to go with ctrl+z / ctrl+shift+z

Alternatively (on Windows, which I believe the OP is using), Ctrl+Y instead of Ctrl+Shift+Z for Undo.

 

Unlike Affinity Photo for iPad (and presumably also Affinity Designer for iPad, when it arrives!) the desktop versions of the Affinity apps don’t have Undo/Redo icons, but you can float the History panel in any convenient position on the screen and keep it collapsed until you need it.

Hi thomas.dahl,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

No, there's no Undo and Redo buttons available. You can use the shortcuts suggested or the History panel to go back one step (or more).

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts & the History panel, don't overlook the powerful Snapshot feature that allows you to save your work at any point in time & freely move between those points. Among other things, this means you can take a snapshot, make substantial changes to your work, take another snapshot, & then go back to the first one to copy selected elements before they were changed, return to the later snapshot, & paste them there.

 

Affinity Photo also has an "Undo Brush" that can be used in conjunction with the History & Snapshot panels to selectively brush areas back to an earlier state.

Hello,

i use a Microsoft Surface without keyboard and so i can't use [ctrl] + [z] etc. The protokolpanel waste many place. That place i better like to use for color or layer panel.

 

Please please (1000 more please  ) give me and other undo/redo buttons/icons.

Greetings,

l.

It has now been nearly a year and it looks like Serif still have not gotten around to adding the undo/redo buttons.  Surely I am not the only one waiting for them?  How do I enter a request for this to be pushed up the todo list?

You can't really influence the priority Serif had signed to any particular enhancement. However, to make a feature request you post to the appropriate sub-forum in the Feature Request forum. That's where Serif looks to see what users are asking for.

Walt, he found an appropriate thread shortly after that post.
