Description of problem: i have added some partitions, i'm not satisifed with the outcome and i want to cancel. there's no cancel button. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora 21 beta workstation x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enter manual partitioning screen 2.add partitions 3.cancel all cahnges you've just added Actual results: you can't cancel the changes Expected results: there is a big nice cancel button there Additional info: i have two free space regions on my hard disk, and anaconda places the partitions in the unwanted free space region. So i want to go to text mode and use fdisk fro this.
Well, there is a rather big "Reset all" button in the lower right corner of the screen - does that do what you want ? Also if you want to do partitioning manually from the command line, that is also possible - just don't forget to press the "Reload storage configuration changes" button in the lower left. Anaconda will rescan all disks, so you can use your manually created storage configuration for the installation.
well, i have no idea what is "Reset all" doing. My belief was that it resets the device partition table. It is doing something else?

It resets all the changes you made in the manual partitioning screen back to the initial state. Note that we don't make changes to the disks until you start the installation (see the note above the "Reset all" button).
ah, then maybe a box may describe this when hover the mouse cursor. anyway, i would change the button label to "Reset all changes". on the other hand, isn't it more or less what reload storage config from disk button is doing?

That sounds like a good idea - do you mind if I switch the bug to an enahncement request so we can track this ? > on the other hand, isn't it more or less what reload storage config from > disk button is doing? There is one important difference - "Reset all" only reverts all changes made in the UI back to the state after the initial scan modRana did when it was starting up - this should be more or less instant. On the other hand "reload" rescans all available storage devices, which might need considerable time to complete, especially for more complicated storage setups.
Please make all changes you find necessary. At the time of creation i did not know thhat button resets only the changes, so i did not filed a Request For Enhancement myself :)

Thank you very much.
It's still called Reset All as of F31.
