Moving Around in the History List
When you first open a Project or another Playlist for the current Project, the History List is empty
except for one entry, “Top Level.” The list grows downward from the Top Level as you make
edits and recordings. The last operation performed will be at the bottom of the list and will be
highlighted in blue. All operations including and above this blue highlighted operation are
represented in the current state of the Playlist.
Clicking on any entry in the History List
highlights that entry in blue and that
operation, at least temporarily becomes
the last modification to the Playlist.
Other History List entries below the
selected one are still there, but their
background becomes gray, indicating
that they’re no longer active. In the list
to the left, a bit more than half of the
entries have been undone.
Clicking on an entry in the gray portion
of the list restores it and all entries above
it to “active” status, and it then becomes
the blue-highlighted entry. All entries
that follow it on the list still have a gray
background, indicating that they’re
inactive, but still available if you want to
put them back. In the list to the right,
several undone operations have been
redone.
History List operations that you undo by
moving back up the list remain on the
list only as long as you perform no other
operations that would create a new
History List entry. Once you begin
editing or recording again after undoing
one or more operations, ZAP! – they’re
gone! The undone operations can no
longer be redone, and you start adding to
the History list again from that point.
This is illustrated in the next figure. After undoing all operations up to “Edit Regions Fade Out
Length” we moved a region. Note that all the entries below that one in the previous version of
the History List have been deleted and the new entry “Move Region(s)” is now at the end of the
list.
