How to undo something

We all make mistakes sometimes. No need to sweat it -- it happens! Luckily, in monday.com, there is an undo button to help you out 😊

 

Where to see the undo button

The undo button will appear at the top of your screen, giving you one full minute to reverse your most recent change. 

You will see the Undo button whenever you:

  • Delete or archive an item, group, column, or board
  • Move an item to another group or board

 It looks like this:Group 1 - 2025-08-11T122509.888.png

 

 

Note: The undo button will not appear for column value changes or updates added to an item. If you made changes to the column values of multiple items using Batch Actions, you can utilize the undo button inside the Activity Log.

 

Undo via Activity Log

You can also access the undo button next to an activity within your Activity Log. The button will appear for the following actions: 

  • Deleted items 
  • Move to group
  • Column value changes 
  • Items moved to another board 

You can reverse the action by clicking the undo button, which will appear in the Activity Log for actions performed within the last 7 days. This includes Batch Action changes!

I deleted or archived something by mistake

If you deleted an item by mistake and the undo button has timed out, no need to worry — you can still find deleted items, groups, columns, and boards from the past 30 days in the Trash section!

If you archived an item by mistake, you can retrieve it at any time from the archives. This article covers how to archive and unarchive a group, item, or board!

Recovering data after moving items to a different board

Have you moved items from one board to another and lost some column data in the process? Don't worry, we can reverse this and retrieve the data! 🆘

Open the board to which you move your item(s) to. Next, open the Activity Log and click the undo button as below and then your item(s) as well as all the columns will be restored in your original board.

Note: The option to recover data through the activity as shown above is available only for one month from the time that the items are moved.

For future reference, please make sure to create the same columns in the destination board before moving your items to avoid losing any data. If we see that some columns do not match, we do show this warning message:

Note:  Please note that only the user who moved the items can press the undo button.
