THE HISTORY PANEL:
You may want to add the History Panel Group to the list of panels on the right of the screen in
order to access its “undo” features. To add the History Panel Group, select Window>History
(Shift+F10). The History Panel will show you a list of the steps you’ve performed in the active
document since you created or opened that document, up to a specified maximum number of
steps. (Note: The History panel doesn’t show steps you’ve performed in other frames, in other
Document Windows, or in the Files Panel.) It allows you to undo one or more steps; it also
allows you to replay steps and to create new commands to automate repetitive tasks. The slider
in the History Panel initially points to the last step that you performed. One of the great things
about the History Panel is that even after you have saved the document before viewing it in your
browser, you can undo your steps in the History Panel as long
.
Once you close the document, the steps in the History Panel will be gone.
To undo the last step in the History Panel:
Drag the History Panel slider up one step in the list. This has the same effect as choosing Edit
> Undo. The undone step will turn gray.
To undo multiple steps at once, do one of the following:
• Drag the slider to point to any step
OR
• Click to the left of a step along the path of the slider; the slider scrolls automatically to
that step, undoing steps as it scrolls.
As with undoing a single step, if you undo a series of steps and then do something new in the
document, you can no longer redo the undone steps; they will disappear from the History Panel.
To change the number of steps that the History panel retains and shows:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > General.
2. Enter a number for Maximum Number of History Steps (default is 50).
The default value should be sufficient for most users’ needs. Be aware that the higher the
number, the more memory the History Panel requires. This can greatly affect computer
processing performance and significantly slow down your computer. When the History Panel
reaches this maximum number of steps that have been set in Preferences, the earliest steps are
discarded from the panel.
