Undo in 1 go
I don't know much about how Zotero in MS Word works but I think it runs a macro with several steps each time a citation is added/edited. When you want to undo something, you need to go back several steps and it can be quite frustrating.
I found something online about undoing all of the steps in a macro at once: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/microsoft.public.word.word97vba/UGSD7Xq6t-8/uz1_gacg8cUJ
I'm not sure if it actually can be implemented in Zotero's macros but I'm really hoping it can. Could this possibly be looked into for future releases?

@Rintze yup. Will also be available for LibreOffice. Word for Mac users will have to wait as there is some friction on Microsoft's side.
I switched to Zotero from Mendeley because the library in zotero is a lot easier to maintain but I'm facing a lot of issues with word integration :(.
Thanks for looking into this!
I find ctl-Z Windows / cmd-Z Mac useful.
I have tried to undo insert citation, insert bibliography and change citation style (using either Ctrl-Z or the undo button on top). In each case I needed to undo a large number of steps since each change is marked as a series of VBA steps. Since Word allows a limited number of undos this meant that I often couldn't undo anything I did prior to the Zotero edit.
I am using Microsoft Office 365 on Windows 10, currently with the beta version of Zotero. .I have also tried the latest stable version (5.0.72). Neither worked for me.
I don't have track changes on.
I don't know if it's relevant but I also had to do a manual installation of the Word extension. I didn't see the Zotero tab on Word so I copy pasted the .dotm file as described in https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_manual_installation
Thanks again!
