Using the History panel

The History panel shows 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. (The History
panel doesn't show steps you've performed in other documents.) The slider in the History
panel initially points to the last step that you performed.
You can use the History panel to undo or redo individual steps or multiple steps at once. You
can apply steps from the History panel to the same object or to a different object in the
document. However, you cannot rearrange the order of steps in the History panel. The
History panel is a record of steps in the order in which they were performed.
If you undo a step or a series of steps and then do something new in the document, you
can no longer redo the steps in the History panel; they disappear from the panel.
To remove deleted items from a document after you undo a step in the History panel, you use
the Save and Compact command. For more information, see
