Use this interactive demo to learn how to redo actions in Adobe InDesign.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to redo in Adobe InDesign:

‍

To redo a previous action in Adobe InDesign, navigate to the top menu, select 'Edit,'
Select 'Window' to open the History panel.
After the History panel opens, you will see a list of previously performed actions. Select any item in the list to revert to that specific step.

📌 Why this matters

The redo function saves you from recreating work when you've undone too many steps or want to compare different versions of your design. Beyond simple mistake correction, you can use the History panel as a creative tool to rapidly test design variations.

Jump between different states of your layout to see which typography treatment works best, or compare color schemes side-by-side. This turns version control into an active part of your design process rather than just damage control.
