History Window for Audio Files

Open Selected Version in New Tab

Replace Selected Audio with Samples from This Version

Replaces the audio selection with the audio samples that are located at the same range inside this version of the history.

Delete Selected Version

Deletes the selected version from the history.

Clear History

Clears the history. This frees up memory, hard disk space, and any involved audio files. If you clear the history, you cannot undo any previous operations.

Keep Undone Versions

By default, if you revert to a previous version, all versions that were created after the selected version are deleted. To keep all versions, activate Keep Undone Versions.

For example: You have done edits A, B, C, and D. Now you undo edits C and D. Then you do edit E. In the default version history, the history now contains the edits A, B, and E. If Keep Undone Versions is activated, the history contains the edits A, B, C, D, and E. That is, even after undoing steps, you can still revert to the undone versions.
