Thanks for clarifying @roll!

UNDO/REDO and SAVE/REVERT are on different levels of functionality.

• When you use UNDO/REDO you can disable/enable changes in DATA step by step.
• When you use SAVE/REVERT, you manage the whole DATA/METADATA bunch of changes by deciding on saving or discarding it. Until SAVE is clicked no actual changes are made to the USER's files.

Here is an example:

• open a CSV file
• change one cell
• change another cell
• open a metadata editor
• update resource title
• update on field definition
• click on REVERT
• [it will discard all the changes]

@pdelboca please, remove the REVERT button.

@pdelboca please, remove the REVERT button.

Deassigned myself as it seems to be for Patricio

Note, that without the "Revert" button, it's impossible to change the file without saving it (so any change became undiscardable)

@pdelboca I'm moving this issue to Sprint 3 so you can take a look at the technical implications of removing the REVERT button.

How the ODE should work. The user:

Makes a change/changes to a specific file.
Click on Save ----All changes are saved.

If the user wants to undo changes, the ODE offers two options:

• Click on the UNDO button as many times as necessary).
• Go to the Open data Editor menu (upper right corner) ---Quit ODE

When the user now clicks on Quit ODE, the app should ask the user: "Do you want to save changes?" Yes/No

Open to suggestions here, @pdelboca.
