undo
Adding an "undo" and "redo" button really would be helpful for the mistakes people so often make!
Undo has now been released!! Thanks everyone for your patience. For a full report on this release, check out our blog here: http://teamgantt.com/blog/2014/08/11/new-feature-activity-list-and-undo-now-live/

Accidentally clicked something and every group of tasks moved into one group. The only way to undo it, is to undo EACH and every item that moved (hundreds of them) one by one. There is no undo button to just reverse what it just did. I went through and clicked undo on maybe 100 of those tasks, went back to the project. Literally nothing changed. Im done with this software. Looking elsewhere

Undo is painful, a crazy bad implementation. With dependencies we have about 140 steps of undo from a project this morning and it really is impossible to work with the current system.
This needs to revisited.

Having CMD+Z to undo would be amazing.

This would def be one of the main functionalities since it feels very uncomfortable to move tasks now. Defenitely if other people are editing as well. Or indeed like some people suggesting a history.

Hi, still no update on this. Because of other features in the pipeline and the complexity of this one, it isn't a part of our immediate plans.
Some people use baselines to help keep track of what the schedule originally was planned as (menu->baselines). Also, you can always export as PDF or CSV to backup your data. We also run multiple backups everyday so that if anything catastrophic were to happen to your project, there is a good chance that we could restore it to a recent version for you in an emergency.

any updates on the undo button?

A version history slider would be perfect. Even though probably technically challenging.

While we would love to add in undo, it is more complicated than it may seem. Because TeamGantt is a multi-user, web based gantt chart driven by a database, it creates a lot of complexities.
It's a big project to try and find a good solution to. We still hope to do it at some point, but it would take a lot of work to do right.

Hi Torston, Thanks for the feedback! We are still looking for a good way to implement this.
In the mean time we do run backups twice a day. So if anything bad does happen to your project, please let us know and we should be able to roll it back to a time frame within the last 12 hours.

Hi Teamgantt, I really appreciate your work and feedback on this and I understand that implementation of an Undo feature is complicated due to the multi-user environment.
But this is SO UTTERLY IMPORTANT to many of your customers that any kind of implementation would at least help us! I don't care about a perfectly transparent multi-user Undo - I just want my task back to the position where it was before. Even if I need to redo 5 other steps, even if I need to "pay" for it (work, time, brain power etc.). When I loose my client-communicated deadline detail, I am in dire straits.
So - how about a "snapshot" feature. Allow users to actively create a snapshot. System stores, say, 5 snapshots in the cache and always deletes the oldest. Just one per project, don't care about multi-user.
With Import/Export features already implemented, this should really be feasible and it would be a huge relieve for those paying customers who decided to use Teamgantt for their salary-paying vital projects. It's been more than 2 years now. Thank you.

We're still in trial and, as we're getting acclimated to TeamGantt, I accidentally moved an ENTIRE TASK - and don't remember the correct start/end points.
An 'undo' will keep me as a paying customer.

I totally agree. It is very necessary

Very strange, after 2 year this feature is still missing.

it is ridiculous that undo is not in this tool.

Crucial

@Torsten: I agree, this would be ideal

Torsten commented
Make it even better: Allow users to create a snapshot. Then we can try things out and go back to the snapshot.

Obviously there must be some hidden reason, why this is apparently difficult to implement. Could you tell us, really curious :)
