History list
Display
Each action shows an undo or redo icon, a description of what changed (the action type), and the time it happened.
Current state
A blue Current State indicator marks where you are. Actions above it are in the redo stack and show grayed out. The ones below it are in the undo stack.
Navigating history
Undo and redo
Click an undo item to undo to that point, or a redo item to redo to it.
To undo or redo from the keyboard, press Tab to reach the list. Move through it with the arrow keys, then press Enter on the entry you want.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd+Z | Undo |
Cmd+Shift+Z | Redo |
Action types
Each entry carries the name of the action that produced it. Typical entries are edits to the node graph, fixtures, layers, the timeline, and project-wide settings.
History limits
Spectralite keeps history in memory for the current session. A new action after an undo clears the redo stack.
Preserving states
To keep an earlier state:
- Undo to that state.
- Use Project > Save copy... to create a copy.
- Continue editing in either file.
