Undo Button in Studio Activity

I've seen lots of people wanting to allow managers to edit studio titles, descriptions, and thumbnails, but I haven't seen this option suggested yet.

I agree with the Scratch Team that the update will “prevent others from changing or destroying the work you have done in your studios. This change is intended to prevent misuse of the studio description field, such as managers defacing the studio description.” But, I do think that it is ideal to have managers be able to edit the description as well. This is because the owner could be on a hiatus, vacation, etc and nobody can edit the description while they're gone. Also because it can be stressful for the owner of the studio to have to edit/update studio descriptions all by themselves.

This is my proposal that I think could work:
In the activity page in studios, the owner has a button to the right of each action that allows them to undo whatever the action was. For example, if somebody deleted the entire description, the owner could press the undo button which would be right next to the action, to, in this case, recover the studio description. If somebody changed the studio thumbnail, the owner could simply go to activity and press the undo button to change the thumbnail back to what it originally was. There should be some kind of ‘are you sure you want to undo this action’ check first though, too.

I hope that the Scratch Team considers this idea because it can recover your hard work if someone deleted it, while letting managers edit the description, titles, and thumbnails of studios.

Support, also add a redo button and make these buttons only accessible to the owner, assuming the option to transfer studio ownership is being implemented.

I would prefer if it were also accessible to managers. Their could be a studio activity thing for undos or redos too, though. This may get a little bit complicated.

A single edit should only be able to be undone 3 times.

These are all good ideas! I was originally planning on having only the owner of the studio allowed to have these undo buttons, to avoid some random person undo-ing all of the description and your hard work.
