Replaying steps with the History panel

You can replay individual steps or multiple steps using the History panel.

When you replay steps with the History panel, the steps that are played are the steps that are selected (highlighted) in the History panel, not necessarily the step currently pointed to by the slider.

You can apply steps in the History panel to any selected object in the document.

To replay one step:

In the History panel, select a step and click the Replay button. The step is replayed, and a copy of it appears in the History panel.

To replay a series of adjacent steps:

Select steps in the History panel by doing one of the following:
- Drag from one step to another. (Don't drag the slider; just drag from the text label of one step to the text label of another step.)
- Select the first step, then Shift-click the last step; or select the last step and then Shift-click the first step.
Click Replay.
The steps are replayed in order, and a new step, labeled Replay Steps, appears in the History panel.

To replay nonadjacent steps:

Select a step in the History panel, then Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) other steps.
You can also Control-click or Command-click to deselect a selected step.
Click Replay.
The selected steps are replayed in order, and a new step, labeled Replay Steps, appears in the History panel.
