Undoing Changes

If you don’t want to save changes you made to your spreadsheet since opening it or
last saving it, you can undo them.

Here are ways to undo changes:

m

To undo your most recent change, choose Edit > Undo.

m

To undo multiple changes, choose Edit > Undo multiple times. You can undo any
changes you made since opening the spreadsheet or reverting to the last saved
version.

m

To restore changes you’ve undone using Edit > Undo, choose Edit > Redo one or more
times.

m

To undo all changes you made since the last time you saved your spreadsheet, choose
File > “Revert to Saved” and then click Revert.

Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Spreadsheet

Each time you save a spreadsheet, you can save a copy without the changes you made
since last saving it. That way, if you change your mind about edits you have made, you
can go back to (revert to) the backup version of the spreadsheet.

Here are ways to create and use a backup version:

m

To automatically save a backup version of a spreadsheet, choose Numbers >
Preferences, click General, and then select “Back up previous version when saving.”

The next time you save your spreadsheet, a backup version is created in the same
location, with “Backup of” preceding the filename. Only one version—the last saved
version—is backed up. Every time you save the spreadsheet, the old backup file is
replaced with the new backup file.

m

To revert to the last saved version after making unsaved changes, choose File > Revert
to Saved. The changes in your open spreadsheet are undone.

Saving a Spreadsheet as a Template

When you save a spreadsheet as a template, it appears in the Template Chooser.

To save a spreadsheet as a template:

m

Choose File > Save as Template.

See “Designing a Template” on page 188 for additional details.
