  • Tableau icon 
    : Opens the start page (you don't lose your work).

    : Reverses your action. The great thing is that you can undo an unlimited number of times, starting back from the very beginning if you want!
  • Redo
    : Useful if you undo a bit too much. You can redo the most recent undone action.
  • Save 
    : Saves your Workbook on your computer.
