The History panel tracks changes and shows each state as a labeled entry in a list. This allows you to return to earlier points in time quickly and easily.
The History panel shows changes that are applied. The oldest state is the topmost in the list. When edits are made, new states are added to the bottom of the list.
If you click on an earlier state and then make a change, the new timeline you have created will be listed in the place of the original set of changes you made beyond that point.
The following options are available in the panel:
Set Undo Brush Source—enable the icon preceding an entry to set the chosen source from which the Undo Brush Tool can paint back to.
Cycle future—appears where the history was changed, storing all of the original edits associated with that 'branch' of the timeline. If you want to revert to an old redo history after making a change, click the Cycle future icon beside the point in the timeline you wish to revert to in order to go back to your preferred redo history. You can click this again to toggle between the different series of edits you made beyond this point.
