Undo Renames and Folder Moves
Open Activity to see completed renames and folder moves. You can undo an individual file or use Undo All to work through the saved history.
Undo one file
Section titled “Undo one file”- Open Activity and find the file.
- Check its original name and current name or location.
- Choose Undo for that item.
- Check the result in Activity or your file browser.
Undo restores the original filename and folder when the file and destination are available. If Zush renamed a file and later sorted it, undo can follow those steps back to the original location. Saved metadata is restored where supported.
Undo all saved changes
Section titled “Undo all saved changes”Choose Undo All and confirm the action. This applies to the saved history, so check the confirmation before continuing.
When it finishes, Zush shows restored files and any files that still need attention. A partial result does not mean that every file failed: inspect the individual results before retrying.
Resolve a conflict
Section titled “Resolve a conflict”Zush cannot restore a file to a location that another file already occupies. For eligible items, choose Restore with New Name to put the file back under an available name without overwriting the existing file.
Other problems can require action outside Zush:
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The drive or source folder is unavailable | Reconnect the drive or restore access, then retry. |
| The file was moved or deleted outside Zush | Locate or restore the file before trying again. |
| The destination is locked or not writable | Make the destination available and retry. |
Before automating a folder
Section titled “Before automating a folder”Test the Template in AI Rename, where names can be reviewed before applying. Monitor and Quick Rename apply names automatically; inspect their results in Activity afterward.
For folder moves, see Folder sorting. For metadata differences, see Metadata and tags. Copies that a batch moved to the Trash are listed here too, and undoing one puts the file back in its original folder; see Duplicate files.
