Undo a Group of Sequential Transactions

When using the Undo to a Selected Transaction feature, the transactions are undone in sequential order, starting with the transaction you select and ending with the latest transaction at the top of the tree.

To undo a group of sequential transactions

Note: For this exercise, you need to create transactions in the model so that you can undo them.

  1. Open a data model.
  2. Create an entity named Customer and add the following attributes:

    The transactions are recorded in the Action Log.

  3. (Optional) In the Action Log, expand all the transactions by clicking the plus sign next to each one.
  4. Right-click the Create Attribute transaction that is second from the bottom of the tree.

    A shortcut menu opens.

  5. Click Undo to this point.

    Note: Instead of right-clicking the transaction and opening the shortcut menu, select the transaction and then click the Undo to a Selected Transaction button on the Action Log toolbar to perform the same action.

    All the transactions from the one you selected up to the top of the Action Log tree are dimmed, and are removed from the model in the Diagram Window.

Important! Do not close your model yet. Closing your model now will end the current session of the Activity Log and you will not be able to redo the transactions you just undid.
