I just did a Boolean difference, and I had a change of mind after I had saved the file. I wanted to undo the Boolean, but now I can't. How do I undo this operation?

No easy fix for this one. You can change the boolean type in the history to union, then at least you'll the larger shape. Of course then you'll have to manually split them. I experiment with breaking the boolean input connections in hypergraph, but that just left with those annoying orphaned shape nodes that you can select and move around, but that you can't make visible.

Another thing you could do in the future is to use incremental save feature . This should be under the save option. So every time you save, it will make a backup copy of the file.

When u do this u should see a incremental save folder under ur scene folder.

Hope this makes sense!! user added image
