However, the tool takes it a step further by enabling users to efficiently restore (N) number of deleted records as well as undo changes for (N) number of records in bulk.

Pick the fields to undo changes, like ‘Account Name’ and ‘Account Number’.

You can also specify dates or a time period to undo changes done during a certain time period.
