Redo
What is Redo?
Definition
Redo is a command that restores the most recent action that was previously undone in a file or application. This action reapplies changes in the same order they were reversed, as long as no new action has been performed. This matters because it allows recent steps to be recovered quickly, which supports accurate editing and prevents loss of intended changes.
