Undo/go back button

Cmd/Ctrl + Z works like in any other apps.

yes, I like a button for convenience, but I understand if that clutters the board

Hi, I would really appreciate Undo and Redo button, floating over the canvas, exactly as Miro tool has it. It could be optionable. As a Product Manager, Figma is not my main tool, but occasionally I need to work there. Because I have Czech and US keyboard, Z and Y keys are swapped in both keyboard layouts, and it is hell to rely on CTRL+Z keyboard shortcut, because often Keyboard is switched from one to another depending on previous work…

Sometimes i want to work from my ipad and i can’t cmd +Z because no keyboard. It’s a pain there are no way to undo, please add a button

I miss key shortcuts settings. I use czech keyboard and we have Z and Y switched. I tweaked it on mac but I work at windows as well. It is pain not to have same shortcuts the same on both platforms.

just to add to that, it would be even better if i could view the undo history in the undo button as well, just like in Photoshop

there are cases where i want to revert back 20-30 previous actions and it’s hard to do so under the version history

No brainer. All other apps do it and it’s a total pain on tablets. Honestly just need to be able to customize the toolbar on top

Techinical whiteboarding on a Google Vibe and want to use Figma’s great code block (miro doesn’t have this) but without an undo button in one click it’s not worth it. Please add the one click undo button!

Found this plugin that adds an undo button and other controls https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1044252084528589263/tablet?searchSessionId=ls7sk1s6-ftzcnwmo9l4

Please add undo and redo buttons, it gets really hard to use Figma without a laptop, since im a student i use my tablet and laptop is not available at all time.i will appreciate if there will be buttons to Undo, redo and delet.

I've run into something similar before. In my case, Undo worked for edits like resizing or changing properties, but after moving a group of layers around, it didn't always restore the previous position as expected. It might be worth checking if you're in the correct editing mode or whether a plugin or recent autosave affected the history. Hopefully someone from the Figma team can take a look if it's reproducible.

One issue I’ve encountered is that when I move a group of shapes, text layers, and other design elements as a single configuration, the undo functionality doesn’t always restore the layout exactly as it was before the move. After repositioning the elements and realizing the new placement isn’t what I want, I expect pressing Undo (Ctrl/Cmd + Z) to return everything to its previous state. However, in some cases, the arrangement, alignment, or positioning of individual elements is not fully restored, making it difficult to revert to the original setup.

This becomes especially frustrating when working on complex designs with multiple grouped objects, nested frames, or auto-layout components, as recreating the previous arrangement manually can be time-consuming. It would be helpful if the undo history consistently captured the entire move action and restored all affected elements precisely to their original positions.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a design with multiple shapes and text elements.
Group them or place them inside a frame.
Move the entire configuration to a different location.
Decide the change is not desired and use Undo.
Observe whether the original arrangement is restored exactly as before.

A more reliable undo behavior for grouped movements would greatly improve workflow efficiency and reduce the risk of losing carefully arranged layouts.

I've experienced this as well. Undo seems to work fine for most edits, but occasionally after moving a group of layers, it doesn't return everything to the exact previous position. It can be pretty frustrating when working on detailed layouts. Has anyone noticed whether this happens more often with grouped layers, Auto Layout frames, or specific plugins enabled? 🤔
