How to Undo or Redo a Route in TravelAnimator
With built-in undo and redo options in TravelAnimator, you can quickly correct route changes, refine your animation, and continue editing with confidence. TravelAnimator is designed to encourage experimentation without fear. You don’t have to worry about ruining your project or starting over just because of one wrong tap.
Creating a travel animation is an exciting process. You add routes, connect destinations, experiment with transport icons, and slowly watch your journey come alive on the map. But while editing, small mistakes are unavoidable. A stop might be placed slightly off location. A route could be connected in the wrong order, or you may want to test a different route layout and then go back.
This guide explains how undo and redo work in TravelAnimator, where to find these options, how to use them step by step, and how they make route editing smooth and flexible.
What Does Undo and Redo Mean in TravelAnimator?
Undo and redo in TravelAnimator work exactly the way most users expect, but they are optimized specifically for route editing.
Undo lets you go back one step at a time. It reverses your most recent action while editing routes or stops. Examples of actions you can undo are adding a new stop, connecting a path between two points, changing a transport icon, adjusting stop placement, modifying route connections, etc.
Redo restores the action you just undid. If you undo something by mistake or want to bring it back, redo allows you to move forward again.
In simple terms, Undo means a step backward, and Redo means a step forward. TravelAnimator treats route editing as a sequence of steps. Undo and redo allow you to move through those steps freely, without damaging the rest of your project.
Where to Find the Undo and Redo Options in TravelAnimator
Undo and redo options are available directly on the route editing screen, where you add and connect stops on the map.
On the map screen, you’ll notice that a curved arrow icon pointing backward is Undo, and a curved arrow icon pointing forward is Redo. These icons are typically located near the lower area of the screen, close to other route-editing controls. They are always within reach while editing routes, so you don’t need to open menus or settings.
Undo becomes active once you make a change. Redo becomes active only after you undo something. If there’s nothing to undo or redo, the icons remain inactive.
Step-by-Step Guide to Undo or Redo a Route in TravelAnimator
- Open TravelAnimator and open your existing project or create a new one. Navigate to the map screen where your route is visible.
- Start editing the Route by adding stops, connecting destinations, or changing transport icons as needed. Each action you perform is recorded as a step.
- If you notice a mistake, tap the Undo icon. The most recent route action will be reversed immediately. For example: a stop disappears, a route point is removed, a previous route layout is restored, etc.
- Tap Redo to Restore an Undone Action. If you undo something and then change your mind, the undone action reappears exactly as it was.
- You can continue adding, removing, and adjusting routes, using undo and redo as needed. This allows you to experiment freely without committing to every change.
What Happens When You Undo a Route Action?
Undoing an action in TravelAnimator does not damage your project or permanently delete it. Instead, it simply restores the route to its previous state.
When you undo,
- Recently added stops are removed temporarily
- Route lines revert to their earlier position
- Transport icons return to their previous state
Nothing is permanently lost unless you continue editing beyond that point. Undo doesn’t cause any damage in your animation. You can redo the action, manually re-add stops, and maintain complete control over your animation. This makes undo safe to use at any stage of route creation.
Can You Fully Reset a Route Without Deleting the Project?
TravelAnimator does not force you to delete your entire project just to fix a route. Instead, you have flexible options to clean up and logically reset routes. Here’s how you can achieve a reset-like result.
- Use undo repeatedly to go back to an earlier clean state
- Remove individual stops and route connections manually
- Redesign the route step by step without touching other elements
This means you don’t lose images, text, or other customizations, don’t need to recreate the project from scratch, and you stay in control of what gets changed and what remains. This approach gives users freedom without the risk of accidental full resets.
Common Scenarios Where Undo/Redo Saves Your Time
Undo and redo become especially valuable during real-world editing situations. Some common examples include:
- Adding a stop in the wrong city or location
- Connecting routes in the incorrect order
- Selecting the wrong transport mode
- Accidentally tapping the map while editing
- Testing multiple route layouts to see what looks best
- Making quick experiments for storytelling flow
Instead of manually deleting and re-adding everything, undo lets you fix the issue instantly. Redo ensures you can always move forward again if needed. This reduces editing time and frustration.
Best Practices for Editing Routes Safely
- Edit routes step by step instead of rushing
- Use undo immediately when something looks wrong
- Preview your animation frequently
- Confirm stop placement before adding the next one
- Avoid making too many changes at once
Tips for Efficient Route Planning Before Animation
- Decide on major destinations in advance.
- Think about the travel order before connecting routes
- Choose transport modes early
- Keep the story flow in mind
- Use undo as backup, not as the primary strategy
