If you customize multiple shapes in a single SmartArt graphic, you can quickly undo most of your customizations in one simple operation by restoring the default layout and colors of the whole SmartArt graphic.
Restore defaults
-
Click the SmartArt graphic to select it.
-
Under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Reset group, click Reset Graphic.
If you don't see the SmartArt Tools or Design tabs, make sure that you've selected a SmartArt graphic.
Notes:
-
To restore defaults for only one shape, right-click the shape that you want to remove customizations from, and then click Reset Shape on the shortcut menu.
-
When you restore defaults, not all of your customizations are removed. The table below identifies which customizations are removed and which are not.
