If you complete a batch edit that produces unexpected or undesirable results, you can perform a Special Undo by selecting Edit → Special Undo. Special Undo will return your file to the state it was before your last batch edit, meaning if you have performed any manual edits after your batch edit, Special Undo will also undo your manual edits. You can only use special undo once, meaning you cannot undo two batch edits.

Undo and Special Undo are different. Undo undoes manual edits whereas Special Undo undoes a single batch edit and any manual edits completed following the batch edit.
