redo button

Restore undone action

A redo button reverses an undo, restoring work that was just undone.

In software applications, redo typically appears alongside undo, letting users step backward and forward through recent changes: I accidentally hit undo twice, then used the redo button to get my text back.

The standard keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Y or Cmd+Shift+Z.
