# 3.2. The Edit Menu

Edit->Undo (Ctrl-Z)

  This is used to eliminate or reverse the most recent user action or operation. Just what constitutes such an action may be better understood by referring to the Group Undos portion of this help file.

Edit->Redo (Ctrl-Shift-Z)

  This will reverse the most recent change (if any) made using Undo

Edit->Undo History

  This will call a display box showing a list of the most recent actions on the left and another list of actions which have been 'undone' on the right. There are also three buttons at the right of the box labeled Undo, Redo, and Close. Clicking on the Undo button will cause the action at the top of the Undo list to be reversed which will place that particular action at the top of the Redo list. Likewise, clicking on the Redo button will reinstate the reversed action and move it back to the top of the Undo list. Clicking on an item below the top item in either list will select all the items from the top down to that point. A subsequent click on the corresponding button will cause all the selected actions to be undone or redone accordingly. This would be particularly useful when the user knows precisely the point to which she or he would like to proceed - making it unnecessary to go through a series of single undo or redo actions.
