Why we like it

Undo Plus earns its place in the Blender library by targeting a narrow, common friction point: losing your working viewport angle after checking a scene from another direction. It captures navigation automatically, adds keyboard recovery for stepping back and forward, and layers on manual bookmarks in the V1.1 update. Compatibility spans Blender 3.0 to 5.0 under the GPL license.

What is Updated! Undo Plus?

Undo Plus is a Blender addon that records viewport navigation—pan, rotate, and zoom—while you model. It works in the background with no manual bookmarking needed, and a smart capture delay of 0.4 seconds waits until you stop moving before saving a position. That way, one navigation gesture becomes one undo step instead of cluttering history with 100+ micro movements.

To recover a position, Ctrl+Alt+Z jumps back to the previous viewport position and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z moves forward, returning you to the angle where you were working on specific faces, vertices, edges, or objects in complex scenes. History is configurable, defaulting to 100 steps and adjustable from 5 to 500. A manual "Capture View Now" option lets you bookmark important positions and return to them during the session, and the shortcuts are customizable without interfering with Blender's native shortcuts.

The V1.1 update added the bookmark option. Undo Plus supports Blender 3.0 through 5.0 and is distributed under the GPL license.

Who is Updated! Undo Plus best for?

Updated! Undo Plus is best for detailed modeling work in complex scenes—character face detailing, hard-surface edge loops, retopology, and UV unwrapping—where you frequently rotate away from a working angle and need to return to it.

How much does Updated! Undo Plus cost?

Updated! Undo Plus is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Undo Plus support?

Undo Plus supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0. It is distributed under the GPL license. The addon works by tracking viewport navigation automatically in the background, capturing pan, rotate, and zoom movements without requiring any manual setup. For the most current version and licensing details, check the developer's page before installing into your specific Blender build, since compatibility notes can change between releases.

How do you jump back to a previous viewport position in Undo Plus?

Undo Plus assigns Ctrl+Alt+Z to jump back to your previous viewport position and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z to move forward through captured positions. It records pan, rotate, and zoom movements automatically as you navigate, letting you return to the angle where you were working on specific faces, vertices, edges, or objects. A smart capture delay of 0.4 seconds waits until you stop moving before saving, so a single navigation gesture becomes one undo step rather than dozens of tiny entries.

Can I customize the shortcuts in Undo Plus?

Undo Plus ships with Ctrl+Alt+Z and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z as the default shortcuts for stepping backward and forward through viewport positions, and you can set your own preferred key combinations instead. The addon is designed so its shortcuts won't interfere with Blender's native shortcuts. Alongside the automatic tracking, a manual "Capture View Now" option lets you bookmark an important viewport position and return to it later in the same session, which was added in the V1.1 update.

How many viewport positions can Undo Plus remember?

Undo Plus keeps a configurable history of viewport positions, defaulting to 100 undo steps. You can adjust this from as few as 5 up to 500 steps, enough to cover extended modeling sessions. Each stored position corresponds to one navigation gesture thanks to the 0.4-second capture delay, which prevents the history from filling with 100+ micro movements. You can step through this history backward and forward, or use the manual capture option to bookmark specific positions.

Is Undo Plus free?

Undo Plus is listed as free here, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing and availability can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0. The addon is at version V1.1, which introduced the bookmark option for manually capturing and returning to viewport positions during a modeling session.
