Harbor

How do I undo a change in a note?

Click Undo, the curved arrow at the start of the formatting toolbar. Or press ⌘Z (Ctrl+Z on Windows). Redo is the arrow next to it, and puts back what you undid.

The start of Harbor's formatting toolbar in the web app. Undo and Redo, two curved arrows, come first, then a divider and the heading buttons. Undo is dark, ready to use. Redo is greyed out because there's nothing to redo yet.

Where the buttons are

  • Web, Mac and Windows: the first two buttons in the formatting toolbar, before the heading buttons. Undo, then Redo.
  • iPhone, iPad and Android: the left end of the formatting bar above the keyboard.

A button is greyed out when there’s nothing for it to do. Redo comes on once you’ve undone something.

The template editor has them too. A note you can’t edit has no formatting toolbar, so it has no Undo either.

The keys

  • On a Mac, in the app or a browser: ⌘Z to undo, ⇧⌘Z to redo.
  • On Windows, and in a browser on any computer that isn’t a Mac: Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo.

How far back it goes

Undo works on the note you have open. Open another note and undo starts fresh, even when you go back to the first one.

One Undo takes back a burst of typing, not a single letter, so a sentence you typed without stopping comes out in one go.

Older changes

For anything further back, use the note’s version history. Harbor keeps earlier versions of every note, and you can restore any of them. See Can I restore an old version of a note?
