Keyboard shortcuts:

* Windows: Ctrl + Z&#x20;
* macOS: ⌘ + Z

Undoes the last editing operation you performed to your project. You can undo as many times as you want, all the way back to when you opened the window. To undo many operations, select History from the View Menu. The name of this menu item will change to reflect what will be undone; if you just recorded some audio, the menu item name will be Undo Record.

### Redo

Redoes any editing operations that were just undone. After you perform a new editing operation, you can no longer redo the operations that were undone.

### Cut

Removes the selected audio data and/or [labels](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/label_tracks.html) and places these on the Audacity clipboard. Audio or labels after the selection move leftwards.

### Copy

Copies the selected audio data to the Audacity clipboard without removing it from the project.

### Paste

Pastes audio which has been [cut](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/edit_menu.html#cut) or [copied](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/edit_menu.html#copy) to the Audacity clipboard, either inserting it into the [selected](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audacity_selection.html) track(s) at the cursor point, or replacing the current selection region(s).
