How to undo changes/deletion on dataflows?

Hi

 

 

i readed

@https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Dataflows/How-to-undo-the-changes-in-Dataflow-Gen2/m-p/3956851#M3050

@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

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

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 ?

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! 😀

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)
