Hi everyone,
I’m managing tasks in Coda using tables with grouped dates. By mistake I changed the grouped date for all records, and now every row has the same date. Unfortunately, there was no undo option for this change, and all my original dates are lost.
The only way I can think of is rolling back to a previous version via version history, but that would also overwrite other connected docs and linked changes, which I’d like to avoid.
Is there any way to:
-
Restore only that column’s previous values?
-
Or selectively roll back a table/column without affecting everything else?
-
Or any workaround I’m missing?
Thanks in advance!

Could you go to a previously version of the table, copy that column and paste it back on the current version?

That does work as a solution, though I was hoping there might be an UNDO option. Or to lock the group to be unchangable/ editable

It’s too late now, but command+z (for mac) or Ctrl+z (for windows) work in coda to undo your last action and can be repeated, but I am not sure how many steps you can undo and it will not go back to a previous session.
If it is a small group of rows that were changed, you can open the rows and go to activity (found at the bottom of the open row) to see what edits have been made to the row
Another option is to go to your doc history to before the change was made. Depending on your copy permissions, you can:
- Copy the info from the historic table and paste it over the table in the live doc
- Make a copy of the doc and then copy and paste the table info from the historic version into the live version
- Manually update the info if it was a small segment.
You can also lock tables and views, here is the article in the Coda knowledge base.
IDK why but cntrl+Z doesnt work in published doc (like website). Works only in certain scenarios
