Overview
The Edit menu provides a variety of commands for editing
selected items. The available commands will vary depending on
the current selection. It also provides commands for undoing most operations, including the snoozing/dismissal of
reminders or deletion of items.
Note, some operations related to
shared or synchronized calendars cannot be undone.
Edit Menu Commands - Selection Independent
Regardless of the current selection, the following commands
will always be available on the Edit Menu...
Undo
This command will undo the most recent operation. The exact
operation will be included as part of the Undo command's caption
(example: Undo Delete Event). After undoing an operation, the
next recent operation will be associated with the Undo command. There is no limit to the number of operations that can
be added to the undo stack and associated with the Undo command.
The only time the undo stack will be cleared is when an
operation is performed, such as importing events from an
iCalendar file, that is too complex to be undone. The following
are examples of operations that can be undone:
- Creating or deleting an item (calendar, event, task,
contact, category, etc.)
- Dismissing a reminder
- Snoozing a reminder
- Changing an item appearance (calendar, event, category,
etc.)
- Rescheduling an event
- Editing an event, task, note, or contact.
- Creating a new item (calendar, event, task, note,
contact, category, etc.)
- Categorizing or prioritizing an event or task
- Marking an event or task as completed

These commands are also available on the
