At top right, next to the Paste icon, there’s the traditional Undo icon, , and its counterpart,
Redo, . Use these to walk through your artistic regrets one by one. If that’s not fast enough for

fix the problems.

you’ve had with that person, plus any upcoming events you’re both
attending.
Importing Addresses from Online Accounts
Delightfully enough, the People app can synchronize its contacts with
online Rolodexes that may be very important to you: your contacts from
