Document History and Undo
Fast2Task is built so mistakes are recoverable. There are two layers of protection: undo while you’re editing, and revisions kept forever.
Undo while editing
While editing a document, the Undo button steps back through your recent changes, just like undo in a text editor. Use it when you’ve mangled a line or overwritten a field and just want to get back to where you were a moment ago.
Revisions: every save is kept
Every time a document is saved, the previous version is stored as a revision. Nothing is overwritten destructively: the current version sits on top of a full history of everything the document has ever been.
Open Revisions from the document to browse its history. Each revision shows when it was saved and by whom, and you can inspect exactly what the document looked like at that point.
Restoring
Found the version you want? Restore it and it becomes the current version. And yes, the version you’re replacing is kept as a revision too, so restoring is itself undoable.
Deleted documents
Deleting in Fast2Task is soft: deleted documents are hidden, not destroyed. List pages can filter to include deleted or show only deleted items, and a deleted document can be restored. For anything with financial history, prefer Cancelled status over deletion, which keeps the record visible in context.
What this means in practice
- Experimenting is safe, because you can always get back.
- “Who changed this price?” has an answer: check the revisions.
- Before big edits to an important document, you don’t need to make a copy “just in case”. The history is the copy.
