UNDO
The Undo command will undo the effects of most
commands and actions that add, delete, move, or
otherwise modify data. Undo will also undo the
effects of both real-time and step recording. Undo
is unlimited. This means that if you invoke it
repeatedly, you can essentially step backwards
through your previous actions. For example, if you
choose Undo three times, you’ll go back three
actions. Undo can be used together with Redo to
step forwards and backwards through your
document’s Undo History. For further details, see
“Undo History” on page 552.
REDO
The Redo command restores the action that was
just undone. Like Undo, Redo is also unlimited.
This means you can restore undone actions until
you reach the most recent action you’ve taken in
your project.
Together, Undo and Redo allow you to step
repeatedly backwards and forwards through the
project’s current history of actions (the “Undo
History” on page 552).
Both Undo and Redo give you a brief description of
the action they are undoing or restoring, such as
Undo drag note or Redo paste into track ‘Lead
Guitar’.
REDO NEXT/SELECT BRANCH
The Redo Next/Select Branch command is very
similar to Redo Next Action: it lets you move
forward through the project’s current history of
actions. But it also lets you choose a different path
when you come to a point in the undo history
where there is a branch, rather than simply
