proposed changes to undo

 
     proposed  new wording for undo - based in survey and comment https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/COGA_undo/results
 Users are provided with the ability to undo an action and to correct mistakes such that:
 -The user can return to the location they were at, prior to the change in context, via labeled controls without unwanted loss of data unless the data loss is part of the correction; or
 -the user can repair information entered  via labeled controls and  without unwanted loss of data unless the data loss is part of the correction.
 Exceptions:
 -Where allowing the user to undo an action or maintaining data may cause harm such as adding risk to the user privacy or security.
 -Where the user has confirmed an action it does not have to be reversible.
 -Where allowing the user to undo an action may interfere with the essential function of the content.
 -Where the action can no longer be controlled by the site.


Let me know if I missed something, created new problems, etc.....
All the best
