Using undo and redo
You are given unlimited undo and redo functionality while working on your project, even to the extent of being able to undo changes made before the last time a project was saved (but not closed). While you are working with a project, an undo history of the changes that you have performed is created. Each time you undo something, that change is placed in the redo history.
When you close the project or exit the software, both the undo and redo histories are cleared.
Using undo
Pressing Ctrl + Z or clicking the Undo button () reverses the last edit performed. Repeatedly using the keyboard command or toolbar button continues undoing edits in reverse order, from most recent to oldest. In addition, you may undo the last edit by choosing it from the Edit menu.

When you undo an edit or a series of edits, they are added to the redo history. This feature allows you to restore your project to a previous state.
Tip: From the Edit menu, choose Undo All to undo all edits in the history. All edits are undone and added to the redo history.
