Using the History palette
Use the History palette to jump to any state of the project created during the current working session. Each time you apply a change to some part of the project, the new state of that project is added to the palette.
For example, if you add a clip to the Timeline window, apply an effect to it, copy it, and paste it in another track, each of those states is listed separately in the palette. You can select any of these states, and the project will revert to how it looked when the change was applied. You can then modify the project from that state.
The following guidelines can help you with the History palette:
Program-wide changes, such as changes to palettes, windows, and preferences, are not changes to the project itself, and so are not added to the History palette. Once you close and reopen the project, the previous states are no longer available in the history palette. When you close a Storyboard window, Title window, or Batch Capture window, states created in those windows are removed from the History palette. Applying the Revert command deletes all the states that existed since the last save. The oldest state is at the top of the list, and the most recent one is at the bottom. Each state is listed with the name of the tool or command used to change the project, as well as an icon representing the tool or command. Some actions generate a state for each window affected by the action. These states are linked and act as a single state.Selecting a state dims those below it, to indicate which changes will be removed if you work from the project at that state. Selecting a state and then changing the project removes all states that came after the one you selected.
