I had sticky notes clustered in a certain way. I accidentally left aligned all these stickies and it won’t let me undo Do you know how to revert back? I checked my history and it only lets me edit the moving of stickies and frames but NOT undo the left align of an entire set of stickies (~100+).

@Jennifer Luong - Do you still have the board open in the same session that you accidentally left-aligned them in? If so, does the Undo button/shortcut not work?
Otherwise, you will not be able to undo this and you will have to align them all again manually.
@Robert Johnson The undo button did not work unfortunately :(
The same thing happend to my project. This seems like a major flaw.
Accidentally clicked these dots after selecting all in a HUGE Miro board with hours and hours and hours of work getting everything lined up perfectly. Bam everything is now garbled. I thought, no problem I’ll just undo, but got “Your changes cannot be undone”. Ruined.
Was just about to export to hit a deadline at midnight. Do not make a feature that is so easily accidentally clicked that rearranges literally everything, and doesn’t let you undo it.
If you can’t or won’t solve this problem, at least ask “hey you are about to arrange ~1,000 objects which cannot be undone, are you sure?”
Considering jumping ship on Miro if this has been a problem for this many years.
@Weston Mossman - If you are have a paid (or Education) subscription, you should be able to restored to a previous version of your board – more info on this here: Board history: versions
@Robert Johnson having to pay to undo an easily accidental button-press that irreparably ruins your whole board is not a very enticing business model to me. It's a basic feature bug and subsequently a product failing that has existed for years according to this thread, which gives me, a potential future paying user, little confidence that I won't experience bugs like this after I purchase.
This undo bug should be fixed, or the "permanently re-arrange all" action should be put past a confirmation modal for all users. Solving this may give users that ran into this critical bug the confidence in this product and team to convert into paid members.

If the system is telling you that your changes can't be undone, it's likely not a bug in the system. There are probably technical reasons why the changes can't be undone. However, I agree that a better user experience could be designed. For example, the system could give the user a warning that the action can't be undone. Then the user could decide whether to proceed with the action or not.
@Robert Johnson yes I would agree. Since this isn’t a bug, do you know what the most successful route to Product Management at Miro is?
@Weston Mossman - Since the product team would ultimately want to understand the scenario and conditions that led to your ruined board, could you please leave one more reply outlining:
What you were trying to do/your goal, before you took action, e.g., resize or move all objects.
The exact action you executed, e.g., this post was about the left alignment tool:
But it sounds like you clicked on the auto layout tool? (Which is, unfortunately right beside one of the resizing dots) E.g.:
Having this information will not only help the product team, but perhaps any other Mironeers or readers of this post.
As soon as you reply, I will convert your reply into a support ticket, which will result in your receiving a confirmation of the new ticket – while your reply will be a part of the ticket, I would suggest that you immediately reply with a link to the board that suffered his unwanted rearranging, along with any other details. Note: Set the board to “Anyone with the link → Can view”, in case the support team needs/wants to duplicate it.
