Multiple Undo and Redo are available from
the Edit Menu. Every action taken that modifies your music can be undone
sequentially, in the reverse order in which you took action. The amount
of changes that can be undone is only limited by the free disk space on
your computer. This space is freed up when you quit Finale. These actions
are also available from the Edit Menu Toolbar.
