Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature/enhancement
Currently, if I click on "quick match" from the edit modal, it will search for metadata and update the item automatically. This leaves the possibility of having wrong/incorrect/un-preferred metadata stored.
Update the item/book only when the user presses Save/Save & Close button and not automatically, thus allowing the user to revert to the original metadata by exiting out of the modal if necessary.
@stefanop1 commented on GitHub (Jul 19, 2022):
Maybe, a better solution could be: update the book if only one match is found, otherwise, present the list to choose the correct one
@raviwarrier commented on GitHub (Jul 20, 2022):
Even then I'd want to be able to confirm or revert.
@stefanop1 commented on GitHub (Jul 20, 2022):
Personally, I really like the immediacy of the quick match. A 'revert' button may be useful but only as a last resort. If I don't press it, the changes will be permanent
@raviwarrier commented on GitHub (Jul 20, 2022):
Something that allows the user to verify and cancel the updation if needed. Confirm button or revert button, both achieve the goal.
@wtanksleyjr commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2022):
I agree with the enhancement request that quick match not save the results (wait for the user to click "Save" or "Save and Close"); the rest of the discussion here is already implemented in the regular "Match" tab, I see little value in making the two actions do the same thing.
@raviwarrier commented on GitHub (Feb 25, 2025):
I am adding to this issue again as I faced this problem and don't know how to go back to the original book details without deleting and re-adding it to my library.
Here's a book that I just added. As you can see from the file name, it is "The Relentless Revolution" by Joyce Appleby.
Here's the MP3Tag screenshot of the same file:
but when I did a quick match, it found a different book with non-related title or author, but with a similar sub-title:
I deleted the book from the database (not from the physical disk) and then ran a scan again, hoping to get the original title and cover back, but it just automatically added it with the wrong title:
There really needs to be a step in between "Quick Match"/"Scan" and "Save". Or at least give a way to "undo" the quick scan or match output.
I created this ticket almost 3 years ago and I think this need to go into the roadmap soon. Please.
