undo redo
Cancel then restore
Undo redo refers to the paired commands in software that reverse and restore actions.
Undo cancels the most recent change; redo reinstates what was undone.
The combination appears in menus, keyboard shortcuts, and discussions of editing: I hit undo redo a few times to compare the versions.
The phrase acknowledges their inseparability—you can't redo without first undoing.
