Undo and version history

Your mind map lives for weeks or months, so mistakes happen: a card deleted by accident, a Tidy up you didn't like, AI features you'd rather not have. Flowmaps lets you take any of that back.

Undo and redo

• Undo: press Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac), or click the curved arrow at the top left of the mind map.
• Redo: press Shift+Ctrl+Z (Shift+Cmd+Z), or Ctrl+Y, or click the arrow next to it.

Hover over the arrows to see what they'd undo or redo, like Undo: Delete "Book a walk".

You can undo:

• adding, deleting, moving and editing cards (title, notes, status)
• drawing, deleting and changing lines
• Tidy up, merging duplicates, and adding recommended features or scan findings: a big change undoes in one step
• moving cards on the board: the board and the mind map share the same undo, so you can undo on either

While you're typing in a field, Ctrl+Z undoes your typing, as usual.

Deleting a card no longer asks "are you sure?". It's deleted right away, and a message reminds you that Ctrl+Z brings it back.

Version history

Click History at the top left of the mind map to see earlier versions of your map.

Flowmaps saves a version by itself:

• before AI changes, like adding recommended features or scan findings
• before changes to many cards, like Tidy up or merging duplicates
• whenever cards are deleted

You can also save one yourself: type a name, like Before launch, and click Save version.

Restore a version

1. Open History and click a version.
2. Flowmaps shows what restoring it would change: which cards come back, which cards made since then go, and which go back to how they were.
3. Click Restore this version…, then Restore.

Your map as it is now is saved first, so you can undo a restore with Ctrl+Z, or restore that copy from History.

Good to know

• Cards being built right now (In Progress on a git branch) stay as they are, and cards that follow GitHub keep their status.
• Build prompts of a card that comes back come back too. Its flags don't; Flowmaps checks the card again when you edit it.
• Free plan: cards that come back don't count as new cards toward the 60-card limit.
• Who can do what: everyone in the workspace can look at the history; owners and editors can save and restore versions.
• How many: the newest 50 automatic versions and the newest 50 you saved are kept for each venture.
• A restore shows up in Activity as one line.
