3 Do one of the following:
•
To save the recovered data, choose File
> Save As, specify a location and a new filename, and click Save. The Save
As command keeps the recovered version that includes the automatically recovered data; the word [Recovered]
disappears from the title bar.
•
To discard automatically recovered changes and use the most recent version of the document that was explicitly
saved to disk before the failure occurred, close the file without saving it and open the file on disk, or choose File
>
Revert.
Change the location of recovered documents
1 Choose Edit > Preferences
> File Handling (Windows) or InDesign
> Preferences
> File Handling (Mac
OS).
2 Under Document Recovery Data, click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac
OS).
3 Specify the new location for the recovered document, click Select (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS), and then
click
OK.
Undo mistakes
If necessary, you can cancel a lengthy operation before it’s completed, undo recent changes, or revert to a previously
saved version. You can undo or redo up to several hundred of the most recent actions (the amount is limited by the
amount of RAM available and the kinds of actions you performed). The series of actions is discarded when you choose
the Save As command, close a document, or when you exit from the program.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. (You cannot undo certain actions, such as scrolling.)
•
To redo an action, choose Edit > Redo [action].
•
To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File
> Revert (InDesign) or File > Revert
Content (InCopy).
•
To close a dialog box without applying changes, click Cancel.
