The undo feature automatically reverts all changes made in the previous edit. It works well for quickly reverting bad edits, but only if that edit was the last one. Undo only goes back one edit, period, so if there was more than one unscrupulous edit it will only move the page back one edit to whatever the page looked like before that, not actually fixing the page.

In such cases rather than painstakingly removing and rewriting vandalized content, you can go into the page history and find the last proper version of the page, then click the edit next to the undo to edit that version of the page. If you just publish the page as it is it effectively just moves the page back to before following edits, in what I like to call a manual revert. I didn't really use the undo feature for that, it was just a simple way to explain what I did with that edit.
