Undo changes to any document with Control + Z

As we mentioned, although it is true that it varies slightly depending on the application in which it is used, Usually the keyboard shortcut Control + Z is used to undo the last change you made. In this way, if for example you add text or some kind of modification, or you delete something, you can use the key combination to return it to its previous state, as if no change had been made.

For this very reason, Control + Z will not always work, but will only work in those applications that logically allow changes to be made about files.
