How do I go back a step in numbers when making a mistake - it seems to save without asking

You can use the "Undo" command (⌘Z) in the "Edit" menu. >> Undo or redo changes

You can also use the "Revert to…" command in the "File" menu. >> Save and rename a spreadsheet

If you are using the Numbers.app for iOS, just shake the device to undo. >> Undo or redo changes

Hi Ger,

it seems to save without asking

Adding to the advice from T2YUKI, try this setting in System Preferences > General > Ask to keep changes when closing documents > tick that box.

Save, Save, Save as you work (if you are happy with your changes).

If you make too many mistakes, close the document and Numbers (or any app) will ask you if you want to Save the changes (since your last Save).

Click on 'Don't Save'.

Reopen from Menu > Open Recent to get back to your last satisfactory version.

Regards,

Ian.

Edit: Reopen from Menu > File > Open Recent to get back to your last satisfactory version.

Hi Ger,

You might also check out the Menu>File>Revert To...

Useful when you are unhappy with Everything you did today or to find that data that somehow disappeared last week.
