Suggestion: A Redo Button

When I click out of a card in the middle of typing, I get the option to pickup and save the UNSAVED CHANGES which is nice. Can we get a "redo" option of sorts if I accidentally hit the CANCEL button (the one right next to the SAVE button)? Or maybe a warning popup; just anything besides a one-and-done lose it all button. I have, on more than one occasion, clicked too fast and lost ALL of whatever it was I was just typing with no ability to CTRL-Z my way back to where I was. Thanks.

Hi there!

I completely understand the frustration—losing a long text because of one accidental click is the digital equivalent of stubbing your toe. While Trello doesn't have a native "Undo" for the Cancel button yet, you can create a safety net for your descriptions.

I recommend using the Board Assistant Power-Up:
https://trello.com/power-ups/685016dd47b5654ae385bba6

As you can see in the settings, you can enable the "Log values in comments" feature specifically for the "Card description".

How it helps:
Every time a description is changed or saved, the Power-Up automatically posts the previous version as a comment. If you accidentally overwrite your work or delete something, you can simply scroll down to the comments and copy your text back. It’s not exactly a "Redo" button, but it ensures you never truly lose your progress.
