Tuesday, January 10, 2017 by Max

Macrorit Partition Expert provides a way to preview results of resized disk partition, you can undo any operations before hit Commit; of course, with the cancel-at-will technology, you can even undo (cancel) operations after you clicked Commit button in some situations.

Three methods of undoing operations in Partition Expert are:

When you clicked resize move volume in the operations column, for example, you found more space should be added to C Drive to solve low disk space problem, now you can navigate to General > Undo Last Change to resize C Drive again. Or, click General, and press key U to undo;

undo_last_change <-- or --> undo_resize_partition

Resizing Partition with large amount free space moving here to there may take minutes, during when you want to repartition hard drive after clicked Commit button, you can hit on the Cancel button to resize system partition or other partition again. That's one of the reasons Macrorit partition software differs from the rest of disk management tool.
