Whenever I use the undo function, I lose my selection. It often takes a lot of tapping and rotating and pinching to get my selection. It is often arduous. Then I’ll do something I didn’t want and have to undo. Then I’ll lose my entire meticulous selection and have to spend all the effort all over again. Is there a way to recover my selection when I use the undo function?

Hi @Moneyshirt , no, there isn’t a way to recover your selection after undoing. Can you describe a real life case when this happened to you? Why did you want to use the undo function while creating a complex selection set?
