Using undo, redo and history

It's easy to revert changes to a file when you've either made a mistake or if you simply don't like the result.

Any edits you make to your document are stored in the History Studio. You can then use this, or perform a gesture to undo. You can also redo an edit which you have recently undone again using a gesture.

This might be because you changed your mind or if you made an edit that accidentally removed your redo history. Two branches in the history are created:

By default, your document's history is always saved along with the document only as long as the document remains open, but you can optionally save the document history with a copy of the document for future editing sessions; earlier edits can then be returned to even if the document is closed and reopened.
