# Undo and redo

## Best practices

**Help people predict the results of undo and redo as much as possible.**

**Show the results of an undo or redo.**

**Let people undo multiple times.**

**Consider giving people the option to revert multiple changes at once.**

**Provide undo and redo buttons only when necessary.**

## Platform considerations

### iOS, iPadOS

**Avoid redefining standard gestures for undo and redo.**

**Briefly and precisely describe the operation to be undone or redone.**

### macOS

**Place undo and redo commands in the Edit menu and support the standard keyboard shortcuts.**
