If you want to undo anything you've written or changed in your script go to Edit > Undo.
This reverses the last editing action made to a script. It performs the same function as Command + Z (Mac) or Ctrl+ Z (Windows) on the keyboard.
Most editing actions can be undone. Depending on the last action, the text of the Undo command contains the type of action to be undone, such as “Undo Typing” or “Undo Cut.” If there is no reversible action, the label will say "Can't Undo" and the command is disabled.
If you want to undo anything you've written or changed in your script go to Edit > Redo.
Redo reverses the previous Undo command. It performs the same function as Command + Shift + Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+Z (Windows) on the keyboard. Depending on the last action, the text of the Redo menu command contains the type of action to be undone, such as “Redo Typing” or “Redo Cut."
Redo is useful for correcting an unintentional Undo. For example, if a format change is made, such as changing the font or the style of an element, and the Undo command is used, the script will revert to its previous state by selecting Edit > Redo. If there are no commands that can be re-performed, the label will read "Can't Redo" and the command will be disabled.
In addition to the pulldown menu, Undo and Redo buttons are available on your customizable Toolbar.

If you want to do more than redo your last action and revert your entire script back to its last saved state, you can instead use the Revert feature.
Revert rolls your script back to the state it was in when last saved.
- Choose File > Revert;
- A confirmation dialogue appears;
- Click Revert to undo all changes made since the last save or click Cancel to return to the script.
