Revert to last published state - "unpublished changes in editor"
Posted Dec 02, 2019
As with most people, testing layouts in Dashboard is very much trial and error, but the current version doesn't allow you "revert to last published state" and the unpublished changes in editor message is permanently pinned to the top.
There doesn't appear to be a way of reverting to last published state, and hiting edit takes you back to the edited test version.
This needs to be a feature that's possible for the Explore app to be useful.

Hi guys,
I'm just chiming in to emphasize how important I think this subject is. I do not regard this as a feature request. To not be able to undo is more like a bug, in my opinion.
Best regards from another victim of the horrendous automatic re-organizing button. :-)

+1 to this, and I agree with the sentiments of other commenters where this seems like a basic feature.
It's time-consuming when you make a mistake, or an edit that you do not want published, and that error remains in the editor unless you remember the steps to undo the mistake. The edits are also persistent so you can't quit and come back to it as it was originally, and it makes collaborating on dashboards difficult too.
It would be helpful to have the options to:

Daniel Chikanov if you intentionally want to "try out" things... My suggestion is to clone the dashboard and delete (or decide to use) the clone afterwards.
Just a workaround but better than nothing. ;)

Vincent Dollet do you have an estimation now?
Not only that the revert is missing.
Also the "Undo" (Strg-Z) destroys working configurations (e. g. pressing it one time too much -> Voila, a well configured "Filter" widget turns to a dead white box)
PLEASE!

Can this please be implemented soon? It is getting increasingly frustrating not being able to "undo" or "redo" dashboard edits? For example, if i adjusted the dashboard width to test out the view, its impossible to go back without remembering what the previous dimensions are.

Hi All,
Can we (End Users) unite and upvote Vincent Dollet's post above?
This will ensure ZD weighs this feature as something to add to their product roadmap for Explore. The more upvotes the sooner we'll have this feature released.
Thanks,
Quinton

Thanks Terry, I appreciate your suggestion - I did try that but sadly it didn't work for me. I tried lots of different things in fact but sadly the damage was done. I'm slowly putting the pieces of my broken dashboard back together and I will ensure I don't touch the disguised auto-destruct button ever again :)

Greg - I did something similar and freaked out. Surprisingly using the standard Ctl-Z to revert changes actually worked. Not sure if it would continue to work again for more changes but it did work for that one situation immediately after I made such a mistake.
