How to undo changes/deletion on dataflows?

@https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/Revert-changes-in-a-dataflow/m-p/2849990#M176709

just to make sure i understand, when i press "delete", there is no way of "ctrl-z", correct?

if so, is there a way to save the current dataflow as a "version", which i can revert back?

thanks

Lee

Hi ZhengTzer ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Yes your understanding is correct. At present you cannot undo changes/deletion on dataflows.

At present DataFlow Gen 2 supports only this funcationality - click here

To preserve and reverse to original change is to go to advanced editor , copy all our transformations and save it.
In case if want to reverse your new changes, copy paste the orignal content of the advanced editor (power query tranformations)

In Dataflow Gen2 you can use "Export template" to export you Dataflow Gen2 as .pqt code file.

Later, you can import it as a new Dataflow Gen2 if you need to recreate that version.

In Dataflow you can export as .json to achieve the same thing.

However I agree, undo button would be great! 😀

Dataflows gen1 have very useful button : Cancel. It allows you to cancel / close the dataflow without applying changes. It's great because humans are fallible.

Why don't dataflows gen2 have this button, too ?
