Overturn

Answer:

UNDO

Hint:

Reverse the action you just took to start fresh.

Explanation:

"Overturn" hints at reversing or canceling something, which is exactly what "undo" means. The wordplay is straightforward—both words describe an action that reverses a previous state, like flipping a decision or erasing a mistake. In crosswords, simple synonyms like this are common, so "undo" fits perfectly as the answer.
