When you select Undo transaction, a file can be generated that will reverse all transactions within the current filter.  If you inserted a row, a delete for that row will be generated.  A delete will be compensated with an insert to put the data back as it existed before the insert.  An update will create a compensating update to set the data back as it existed prior to the update.  This screen generates a file containing EVERYTHING in your current filter.  If you only want a particular row, you can generate that from within the browse window which will generate only for the selected transaction.

Redo transaction is the opposite of an undo.  It will generate a file to process all transactions that have occurred.  Using these two together can give you a very good way to test an environment and setup different scenarios where you can return to a particular state after you are completed.
