For example, each time you add a clip, insert a marker, or apply an effect, the History palette adds that action to the bottom of its list. The tool or command you used appears in the palette along with an identifying icon. You can use the palette to quickly undo several changes. When you select a change in the palette, the project returns to the state of the project at the time of that change. The more recent changes turn gray and disappear when you make your next change.</p><div class="anchorc"><img src="images/wp_06.gif" alt="Illustration of List of changes in the History palette with these callouts: A.

Closing a project or choosing the Revert command clears the History palette. While the palette lists most changes, it does not list individual changes within some windows, such as the Adobe Title Designer, nor does it list program-wide changes, such as window placement or Preferences settings.</p></ol><p class="headstep">To display the History palette: </p><ol><p class="paragraph">Choose Window > History. </p></ol><p class="headstep">To select a change: </p><ol><p class="paragraph">In the History palette, click the item you want to change.</p></ol><p class="headstep">To delete a selected change:</p><ol><p class="paragraph">Do either of the following: </p><ul><li class="bullet" type="disc">Choose Delete from the More menu in the History palette menu, and then click OK. </li><li class="bullet" type="disc">Click the Delete icon <img src="images/P_Trashcan_Wi_N.gif" alt="Delete icon " height="12" width="12" />, and then click OK.</li></ul></ol><p class="headstep">To move around in the History palette:</p><ol><p class="paragraph">Do any of the following:</p><ul><li class="bullet" type="disc">Drag the slider or the scroll bar in the palette. </li><li class="bullet" type="disc">Choose Step Forward or Step Backward from the More menu in the History palette. </li></ul></ol><p class="headstep">To clear all changes from the History palette: </p><ol><p class="paragraph">Choose Clear History from the More menu in the History palette, and then click OK.</p></ol><hr /><div class="breadcrumbs"><a href="1_4_5_7.html" title="About the How To palette">Previous</a> | <a href="1_4_6_0.html" title="Working with the Media window">Next</a> | <a href="#top">Top</a> | <a href="1_4_0_0.html">Starting and Working with Projects</a> > <a href="1_4_5_0.html">Working with palettes and windows</a></div></td></tr></table>
