Undoing 'Read' option

Love the new update, and it's probably just my butter-fingers, but since then I've accidentally managed to mark a book as 'Read' twice when I was just trying to update the page number- would be great to have a way of undoing this without losing all the stats e.g. pages read per day chart, as deleting the journal entry doesn't un-do the 'Read'

The first thing we're going to do is switch around the "Add note" and "Mark as 'finished'" buttons!
In the meantime, if you've accidentally marked a book as "read" you don't need to delete all of your data! Mark the book as "currently reading" again, catch up to where you were in your progress updates, and keep tracking from that point onwards until you finish the book.
Once the book is finished again, remove the first "read" entry and any duplicate journal entries, likely the second "Started reading" one and the second one for the last percent you'd reached before accidentally marking the book as "read".
Nadia I think there might actually be a bug here, at least on mobile (I'm on Android). This just happened to me and I noticed that the click area for the "finished" button is overlapping with the "add note" button.
jaina8851 You are indeed right! Will be fixing this ASAP! Thank you!
jaina8851 Fixed!
And there's now a confirmation alert too!
Nadia I followed this guidance, but then on the book page under activity, it still says “you read this book two times” even after I deleted the erroneous journal entry - will the activity of reading the book twice drop off? Or is there another way to edit that activity summary?
hollycouldhollywood In your case you already had two read entries so you needed to click on "view/edit read history" and then delete one of the read instances from there.
Same thing happened to me. I sent an email and they’re going to work on adding an undo button
ebbookworm We're not working on an undo button for now, but we've made a couple of changes now that should prevent mistakes from happening!
Nadia I saw the finished verification message this morning, it’s great! Thank you.
