Undo, branches, and local history

History records edits to the project. Undo returns to an earlier revision. Editing from there creates a branch, keeping the previous work available.

Undo and redo

Ctrl+Z moves back one revision. Ctrl+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Y follows the last-used branch forward. Undo applies immediately for edits made within the last five minutes; older edits open a review first.

While editing a text field, undo and redo may apply to its text instead of the project.

Branches preserve alternatives

If you undo a device move and make a different move, both versions remain in history. Redo follows the last-used branch.

Open History or use Ctrl+H to choose another revision. The tree shows branches in the order they were created. Select an entry to review it, then confirm to restore it.

Reviewing a revision

History review compares CURRENT with TARGET. Confirm to restore the target, or cancel to leave the drawing unchanged.

The comparison includes properties that may not appear on the canvas. See Summary: Diff for the previews and change details.

Shared files and history gaps

Undo history stays on the computer where the edits were made. If you open a .wpr whose saved revision is missing from your local history, undo stops at that revision. You can still undo new edits made after opening it.
