Assuming that you refer to an unintentional edit of a note... you may be able to "undo" the previous action with a "shake" of the device. If this function has been disabled in iPad settings, you have alternative gesture:


  • Undo the last edit: Swipe left with three fingers, then tap Undo at the top of the screen.
  • Redo the last edit: Swipe right with three fingers, then tap Redo at the top of the screen.


If instead you have deleted an entire note, this will initially be moved to the Recently Deleted folder (visible within the Notes sidebar), from which the deleted note can be recovered.
