## Undo and redo operations with items {#undo}

To undo or redo [actions with items](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/maps-builder/en/concept/markers_1.md), use these keyboard shortcuts:

{% list tabs %}

- For Windows

  #|
  || **Keyboard shortcuts** | **Operation** ||
  || **Ctrl + Z** | Undo action |
  || **Ctrl + Shift + Z** or
  **Ctrl + Y** | Redo action ||
  |#

- For Mac OS

  | Keyboard shortcuts | Operation |
  | ----- | ----- |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + Z** | Undo action |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + Shift + Z** | Redo action |

{% endlist %}


## Copy and paste the item {#copy_past}

To copy a selected item and then insert it onto the map, use the appropriate keyboard shortcut:

{% list tabs %}

- For Windows

  | Keyboard shortcuts | Operation |
  | ----- | ----- |
  | **Ctrl + С** | Copy item |
  | **Ctrl + V** | Paste item |

- For Mac OS

  | Keyboard shortcuts | Operation |
  | ----- | ----- |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + C** | Copy item |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + V** | Paste item |

{% endlist %}


## Changing the order of items in a list {#03}

Items are displayed on the map in the following order: placemarks are displayed «higher» than lines and may cover them. Likewise, lines are higher than polygons.

You can change the order in which items are displayed **within every category**.

To do this, select the item from the list and use the appropriate keyboard shortcut:

{% list tabs %}

- For Windows

  | Keyboard shortcuts | Moving an item |
  | ----- | ----- |
  | **Ctrl + Shift + ↑** | above all items |
  | **Ctrl + Shift + ↓** | below all items |
  | **Ctrl + ↑** | one item higher |
  | **Ctrl + ↓** | one item lower |
  

- For Mac OS

  | Keyboard shortcuts | Moving an item |
  | ----- | ----- |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + Shift + ↑** | above all items |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + Shift + ↓** | below all items |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + ↑** | one item higher |
  | **Cmd ⌘ + ↓** | one item lower |

{% endlist %}

For example, in the drawing on the left, polygon **1** displays above polygon **2**, but this order is reversed in the drawing on the right:

| ![](../_images/hk_02.png) | ![](../_images/hk_03.png) |

{% note info %}

You can also [drag an item](https://yandex.com.tr/support2/maps-builder/en/concept/markers_1.md) (placemark, line or polygon) to the appropriate position in the item list.
