There is:

,----[ C-h f gnus-undo RET ]
| gnus-undo is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-undo.el'.
| (gnus-undo n)
| 
| Undo some previous changes in Gnus buffers.
| Repeat this command to undo more changes.
| A numeric argument serves as a repeat count.

| [back]
`----

which is in the *Group* buffer bound to  Ctrl-_.
