Undoing Mistakes

Mistakes happen from time to time and P6 includes some standard methods for reversing unwanted changes. Follow the steps below and stop at the step that fixes your data entry error. If a step does not undo your accidental entry, proceed to the next step.

To undo mistakes:

1. If the page you are viewing shows a Cancel button or link, click it to discard any pending changes and revert back to the last saved state.
2. If the page you are viewing shows a Restore to Defaults button or link, click it to restore the page.

   Caution:

   Caution This command will discard all changes that have ever been made and will revert back to the original default values.

3. In a limited number of fields on only a few pages and dialog boxes, press Ctrl+Z to undo only the most recent unsaved changes to only that field.
4. If you made an assignment and want to remove or change it, navigate back to the page where you made the assignment and remove or change it. For example, you can easily remove or change the users assigned to a user interface view, OBS element, or portfolio. Begin by following the procedures in this help system for assigning an entity and simply remove the assignment instead of making it.
5. If you created an item by mistake, and want to permanently delete it, begin by following the procedures in this help system for creating the entity and simply delete it:
   1. Navigate to the page showing the items.
   2. Find the item you want to delete then click Context and select Delete.
   3. Click Save to save your changes.
