When you're inside a flow:
3-dot menu top-right.
It's at the bottom of that menu

This was working, but now I don't see UNDO anymore. Did this break in 1.36 or am I doing it wrong?

I go into a flow, change something and then look in the 3-dot menu. Undo is not there.

I never found this bug. Try to stop automagic service and start again. Try to make sure the software rendering is not checked in the Automagic setting.

My apologies. This is entirely my misunderstanding about how UNDO works. I was assuming that if I was changed the contents of an action/condition within a flow, say a script or an expression or a Control UI, I could undo any changes to the script/expression/Control UI before I saved it. I did not realize that UNDO works only for the entire flow and not its parts.

As far as I could see, there are two types of undo

1) Undo in Flow View. This can be used, e.g. to undo movements of flow items or adding/removing of actions/conditions etc.
2) There is also an undo for Script Editing (Action: Script/UI Control, Condition: Expression). But this one is only visible if you extend the script editor. Simply click on the pencil icon in a script. Then you have undo in the three-dot menu. I couldn't find out, why the undo is only available in the enlarged script editor.

@Econdoc : Undo only work as you enter the flow. All undo will be erased after you exit from the flow. So you can undo until the first time you open the flow, but as soon as you press back and back to the list, the undo cache is cleared. Opening the flow will start a new undo cache again.

@Helios : I never know we have another undo inside the script editor :shock: Usually I just finish my script in the first editing view. Probably it is designed this way, so the undo cache won't slow down the whole flow.
