 Unfortunately, the edit window doesn't have an 'undo' function. For that reason, the best way of editing is to save
-frequently, and if you have made a mistake you can cancel your edit and you will only lose the changes you have made since the last 'Save'. However, Control-Z works to undo edits on some systems, like mine.

-Reverting means going back to a previous version. DokuWiki stores the previous versions of the page, and you can see all of these by clicking on the 'Old revisions' icon,{{old-revisions-icon.png|This is an illustration: don't click here!}} just below the edit pencil. Click on one of these, and you will see what the page looked like at some time in the past. If you are sure you want (as it says on the old revisions page) to revert to an old revision, select it from below, click {{pencil-icon.png|This is an illustration: don't click here!}} and save it.
