Change history and undo

TellDone tracks changes to an item's main fields: title, summary or description, dates, reminders, priority, repeat, location, and status. That covers edits you tap in yourself, changes the AI makes from a voice update, and tasks Smart Context completes for you. Open an item's history to see what changed, and undo any single change.

Where to find it

1. Open the note, task, or event
2. Scroll down the detail screen to Changes. It appears once the item has been edited

You'll see a timeline of edits, newest first.

What each entry shows

• What changed - an icon for the field that was edited
• When - the time of the edit
• Where it came from - a tag: Manual if you edited the field yourself, Voice if the change came from a voice update, or Auto if it was made for you, for example when Smart Context completed a task

So a task you rescheduled by voice and then retitled by hand shows both edits, in order, each tagged with where it came from.

Touch and hold an entry to see a bubble with the full Before and After text and the date, which is handy when a summary or description was rewritten and the one-line preview is not enough.

Undo any single change

Tap the undo button on any entry in the history to revert that one change. You don't have to undo everything after it, and you're not limited to the most recent edit - if a voice update from this morning changed a deadline you wanted to keep, undo that entry and leave the rest alone.

If a change can no longer be undone, TellDone tells you why.

Two ways to undo

Right after you edit a field, an Undo option appears at the bottom of the screen to reverse what you just did. Change history goes further back: use it to undo an edit from earlier today or last week.

Undo an auto-completed task

If Smart Context completed a task you're not done with, you can undo it in three places:

• Tasks auto-completed card - tap Undo right after the note is processed. The button stays for about 5 seconds
• The task's Changes section - tap undo on the Status entry tagged Auto
• Settings > Activity - pick the Completed or All filter, swipe the Auto-completed row to the left, and tap Undo

Voice edits count as edits

An edit from a follow-up recording is logged and undone the same way as one you tapped in yourself. Nothing your voice changes is hidden from the history.
