How to undo in Photoshop CC 2019 or later

Undo the same way you would in any other program:

1. Either click "Edit" and then "Undo" in the top menu, or press "CTRL" + "Z," or "command" + "Z" on Mac, on your keyboard.

2. Photoshop allows for multiple undos, so that each time you click "Undo" or use the shortcut on your keyboard, you undo the next most recent action, stepping back through your action history.

2. To perform multiple undo actions, stepping back through the history of your actions, you need to use the "Step Backwards" command instead. Click "Edit" and then "Step Backwards" or press "Shift" + "CTRL" + "Z," or "shift" + "command" + "Z" on Mac, on your keyboard for each undo you want to perform.
