Rebecca, I’m a new user in Asana and mis-typed/deleted a task description; then, hit cntrl-Z and nothing happened;
After finding this thread, I’m shocked and sorely disappointed that something so ‘standard’ to all end-user apps is not yet built out for Anana. It appears that this has been an issue for years. Please push for this basic function to be prioritized!
I just marked a task “Completed” but i know that it wasn’t the task I intended. because the one i intended to mark “Completed” is still open. is there truly no way to see what I completed?
Hello @Mendy_Bochner and welcome to the Asana forum 
If you know which project the task was under you can go go to the top right where you can see this
Then you can click on it and show all tasks or only completed tasks for example.
And you can also use advanced search, filter tasks assigned to you and recently marked complete.
Hope that helps 
Yes, it opened up a WORLD! 
CTRL + Z is the one and only the solution. Wanted to change the due date of one task. Accidentally, marked all tasks in the project and changed all dates… Need to change each one by one back to the previous dates…
The inability to have an undo history for deletions is a massive gap in Asana. I just deleted a couple of tasks, thinking I was in a similar project. Now all the planning work done in their sub-tasks is gone permanently. The inability to have an undo history for deleted tasks means that I will not longer be using Asana, and I will be recommending to my peers that they abandoned this tool as un-ready for serious use.
An more robust undo feature is a current gap such as with text, accidental date changes, etc…
Not having an undo button is a major, major issue. I just started working on a project plan that I created before the holiday break, and with one wrong click I shifted the entire plan with no way to fix it.
What’s more - the undo button that does appear for 10 seconds seems to only adjust the one task that was moved in some cases - and leaves other tasks that are dependent on it in the same place if they’re not on the critical path.
This is a serious oversight (and seems to have been one for several years) for such a well-regarded software that needs to be addressed before I would recommend that any team use this for project planning.
I agree with this post. The lack of an undo feature is quite frustrating.
Same here! I agree CTL-Z option is needed. I just accidentally deleted something and didn’t even realize I had done it…so I missed the popup window.
Wow, I’ve just made the same mistake- moving an entire task into another task- instead of moving the selected subtasks, like I thought- 5 times. No undo means moving around back and forth- to undo my mistake. An undo would be so great.
I am new to Asana and have been playing around a bit. One thing I find extreeeeemly frustrating is the lack of an Undo function. Why can’t I just hit Ctrl+Z or at least have a clickable button so I can undo whatever I just did? I have a workflow template I am creating with a TON of dependencies and I need to be able to move one thing on a time line and have everything else move the same amount. I move one thing, the “undo” message is gone by the time everything updates and the update isn’t what I wanted and now I can’t go back. Do I have to make a copy of each project in case I mess something up, so I have something to go back to? I love this product but it’s a bummer that if I mess up, and that little undo notification disappears, I’m just s.o.l.
+1 and 100% agree.
Hi @anon46876792, welcome to the Asana Community Forum
While this feature isn’t available at this time, hopefully it’s something our Product team can implement in the future
We do have an existing thread for this feature request in the #productfeedback category so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback.
I’ll keep you posted and let you know if I have any updates
pls!!!
Sorry for the language and the emotional post - but w t f, where is the option to go back in revisions history or the so default and elementary thing - CTRLZ Z !?
Asana Team, you sacrifice basic features for the sake of simplicity and minimalism and it is frustrating.
I am only a 1.5 years paying user, and need to pay to another place just to have basic options.
By trying to be simple you and other platforms create HUGE gaps.
I find myself almost every week going back to this useless forums try to solve a riddle, just to find out that its non-resolvable.
It’s under Favorites in the left side nav, click show more and then Deleted Tasks
Please add a version history or a way to go back when something is changed! Just changed a few dates and had no way to get back to the older dates.
Is it not possible to have an undo send or create button?
Put a small delay on actions being committed?
