The shortcut is corretly set as control+z (german lap top with qwertz keyboard), but using it in the confluence whiteboard does not undo my latest action.

I accidentally deleted a lot and cannot undo this.

The other shortcuts work in the confluence whiteboard (e.g. control+A to select all). 

In other applications, the undo shortcut works as usual. 

Is there any other way I can undo my latest actions?

Does anyone know a reason why the shortbut/ undo does not work?

I think I will need to make sure to manually save/ publish more often and make sure I do not refresh the page.

@Anja Beyerbach welcome to the Atlassian community

I was not able to recreate the issue.  I was always able to roll back changes using the key combo you shared.  The only thing I can think of is that you made the change and reloaded the page thus removing any previous versions.  Have you checked the history to see if there is a version you could pull the deleted portions from?

@Brant Schroeder , thank you for your answer!

Yes, I think the issue was a combination of temporarily being disconnected and then reloading the page. 

I was not able to use the undo - maybe becaue of being disconnected and after the refresh the history did not allow me anymore.

Is there any way I can "reconnect" or fix issues without reloading?

The board keeps diconnecting (showing as offline) even with a stable internet connection and when other confluence sites work without any issues. 

 

Concerning the history, the versioning is very spotty, it only has versions from days back.

I think I will need to make sure to manually save/ publish more often.

@Anja Beyerbach Is the disconnect happening in all browsers?  I also agree that saving and publishing often is a good idea.
