Undo and Redo reverse or reapply changes you've made to your project, allowing you to backtrack if you've made edits you regret, or restore the edits you reversed, if that regret was only temporary.

Undo and Redo in LightBurn are unlimited — the list of actions that can be reversed and reapplied is only reset when closing out of the program or opening a new project.

The Undo History window added in LightBurn 2.1 makes LightBurn's unlimited undo list even easier to use.

Using Undo and Redo

Undo reverses previous actions taken, starting with the most recent action, and proceeding to previous actions with successive Undos.

To Undo, press Ctrl/Cmd+Z, click the Undo icon in the Main Toolbar, or go to the Edit Menu and select Undo.

Redo restores actions previously reversed using Undo, starting with the most recent action Undone, and proceeding to previous reversed actions with successive Redos.

To Redo, press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z, click the Redo icon in the Main Toolbar, or go to the Edit Menu and select Redo.

Undo History Window

Undo History Demo

LightBurn's new Undo History feature makes it easier to navigate a long undo list.

Go to Edit → Undo History to open the Undo History window. You can scroll through the list and select actions to preview your project as it was at that point in the project's history.

After selecting an action, click Ok to jump back to that action, undoing everything you've done since that point.
