Name Review - Undo edit

bstein

After a name has been edited, allow undoing the edit, or reverting to the original value, including after multiple edits.

Hi @bstein and welcome to the FamilySearch Community. I need a little more info. Is this in Get Involved? If so, are you using the app or the full website?

Website.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is kind of easy.

1. In the Name editing dialog, click "See All Changes" or on the main profile page, click "Show All" for "Latest Changes", then click "Filter", and select "Name".
2. This will show you all the name changes performed on the profile, and in the right column next to each of them is a "Restore" button that will revert the name to that.

@RTorchia, that's in Family Tree. I think the post is about a totally-unrelated indexing-adjacent activity found under Get Involved. (It seems to be focused on Spanish- and Portuguese-language material, so I haven't explored it.)

Or is this about being able to fix incorrectly edited indexed records? Another post here ( https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/527761 ) brought up a historical record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLRZ-JMN4 ) in which it appears that the place name has been edited fifteen times (only a portion fits on the screen at one time):

and all but one of them are wrong. It would be nice to be able to get rid of the incorrect edits here.

@Gordon Collett, I'm pretty sure those insanely-long Event Place lists are not user edits, but some sort of weird bug in the new index editor. If you click Edit on that index entry, it goes to the new editor, but has a completely blank Indexed Data panel. Given that there's also an Event Place (Original) which is ambiguous by itself, the bug is clearly connected to the autostandardization mess.

For the current question, Maile asked whether it was Get Involved, and if so, app or website, and the OP replied "website". This implies that yes, the topic is the Name Review task found under that menu item.
