I know we can create a list or use the created-on property, but it would be nice if there were a simple “undo last import” button for beginners who import a list of contacts or companies they need to redo. ---

Hello, I agree with that suggestion and I need the same here. For example, if for some mistake we import a list of PRODUCTS, it is impossible to UNDO that process unless we go manually deleting 20 by 20 products each time. Very sad and time consuming… ---

We definitely need this. I just exported some contacts from one account and imported them into another account… just to realize that it has “updated” existing contacts! Now I need to clean that mess up.. not impossible, but very time consuming, even for 60 contacts. ---

It would be great to have an undo feature where it restores a backup version of the objects in the CRM. ---

Yes this seems crucial. The new repeat an import is useless too because it requires a direct match and you can’t update a create based import. ---

Agree 100%! I accidentally forgot to check the “Do Not Override” button when importing the last list and having a revert or undo, at least within a certain amount of time, would be very helpful. ---
