How to Undo in Notion: Complete Guide Across all Devices

Everyone makes mistakes while working in Notion - deleting a block, overwriting text, or dragging the wrong section somewhere else. The good news? Notion makes it easy to undo almost anything.

Whether you’re a student taking notes, a writer managing drafts, or a team organizing projects, knowing how to undo in Notion saves time and frustration.

In this guide, we’ll walk through every way to undo actions in Notion - using shortcuts, menus, mobile gestures, and version history - so you can recover lost content instantly and keep working without stress.

The quickest way to fix a mistake in Notion is by using keyboard shortcuts. They work instantly and save time, especially when you’re editing text or moving blocks.

If you’re on Windows, press Ctrl + Z to undo your last action. To redo it, press Ctrl + Shift + Z or Ctrl + Y.

On a Mac, press Command (⌘) + Z to undo and Command (⌘) + Shift + Z to redo.

These shortcuts work for almost everything - typing, deleting blocks, changing formatting, or editing database properties. They’re simple, fast, and don’t interrupt your workflow.

Undo also works on your phone or tablet. On iPhone or iPad, just shake your device to bring up the “Undo” pop-up, then tap Undo. Make sure “Shake to Undo” is turned on in your settings.

If you’re using iOS 16 or later, you can also tap the screen with three fingers and choose Undo from the menu.

On Android, swipe across the keyboard from left to right with two fingers to undo your last action.

If you prefer clicking on shortcuts, Notion also lets you undo from the page menu. Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner of the page, then select Undo to reverse your last action or Redo to bring it back.

This option works the same on both desktop and web versions, making it great for anyone who prefers using a mouse or trackpad.

Undoing in Notion is simple, no matter how you work - keyboard, touch, or click. Once you get used to these quick methods, fixing mistakes becomes second nature.

If you delete a page in Notion by mistake, you can still get it back.

Go to the Trash at the bottom of the left sidebar. Find the deleted page in the list, or use the search bar to look it up by name. Click the Restore icon next to the page, and it will return to its original spot in your workspace.

This is the quickest way to recover lost pages without re-creating your work.

Undoing mistakes in Notion is simple once you know how. Whether you use keyboard shortcuts, the action menu, or mobile gestures, you can quickly fix errors without losing progress. And if you delete a whole page, the Trash folder lets you restore it in seconds.

Knowing these tools helps you work faster, stay organized, and create with confidence - no stress, no wasted effort.
