Say hello to the new\u00a0undo, redo & message changes history<\/strong>\u00a0feature!<\/p>\n

\"UNDO-BEE.gif\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When designing with the editor, you can rewind and fast-forward to any point in your recent edit history. As soon as a change in the message is detected, a compact Undo<\/em>\u00a0widget displays in the bottom left corner of the editor, as shown here...<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The widget displays 3 items that correspond to these 3 actions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Undo\u00a0<\/strong>&\u00a0Redo\u00a0<\/strong>arrows\u00a0that offer the classic pattern to move back and forth between changes.<\/li>\n
  • A history icon<\/strong>\u00a0that expands a timeline of the latest changes, as shown below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The history timeline allows you to browse back and forth through the most recent changes.<\/p>\n

    For each event in the timeline, the editor displays:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • An icon to identify the type of content that was changed (an image, a text, etc.)<\/li>\n
    • A description of what changed, including the new value assigned to the element, if any<\/li>\n
    • The exact time the change occurred<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      All these details provide a lot of information about what kind of edit was applied and when, giving you the ability to go back to a previous state with a high degree of precision.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      When you select a previous step in the timeline, the content or row that was edited displays as the selected item, providing further context.<\/p>\n

      Note that when you go back in time, the timeline for more recent changes remains available, allowing you to move forward again, without losing any of the edits.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The\u00a0Undo<\/em>\u00a0widget currently remembers the 15 most recent changes in the current browser session (it does not remember changes that happened during a different session), but you can always rewind to the \"Message opened\" step to go all the way back to the beginning.<\/p>\n

      Here is a quick video that shows you the feature in action.<\/p>\n
