Undo and Redo

Any object-related action you perform in the form display pane or property pane can be undone with the Undo command. This includes drawing, moving, cutting and pasting, changing property values, deleting objects, entering text, and other actions you perform on selected objects. Any undone action can be redone with the Redo command.
