Undo/Redo

You can use the Undo and Redo commands to easily correct mistakes. You can also use them to experiment with different routing and data mapping decisions. Undo reverses the last action you performed, and Redo reverses the last undone action.

Undo your last action

On the Edit menu, click Undo [name of action].

Note   If the action being undone originally took place at a location on the map that is not currently visible, the map view is changed to show that original location. For example, if you click Undo delete pushpin while viewing a different area of the map, the map is repositioned to show the pushpin.

Redo your last action

On the Edit menu, click Redo [name of action].

Note   Depending on your computer's resources, MapPoint keeps track of up to 10 of your last actions. You can reverse the actions one at a time, in reverse consecutive order.
