Erase the history list for the current document:
❖ In the History panel’s context menu, select Clear History.
This command also clears all undo information for the current document; after choosing Clear History, you can’t
undo the steps that are cleared. Clear History does not undo steps; it merely removes the record of those steps from
memory.
Repeat steps
Use the History panel to repeat the last step you performed, repeat a series of adjacent steps, or repeat a series of
nonadjacent steps. Replay the steps directly from the History panel.
Repeat one step
❖ Do one of the following:
• Select Edit > Redo.
• 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.
Repeat a series of steps
1 Select steps in the History panel:
• To select adjacent steps, 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), or select the first step, and then Shift-click the last step.
• To select nonadjacent steps, select a step, and then Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) to
select or deselect other steps.
The steps played are the selected (highlighted) steps, not necessarily the step the slider currently points to.
Note: Although you can select a series of steps that includes a black line indicating a step that can’t be recorded, that step
is skipped when you replay the steps.
2 Click Replay.
The steps are replayed in order, and a new step, Replay Steps, appears in the History panel.
Make or extend a selection
❖ Hold down the Shift key while pressing an arrow key.
If a black mouse-movement indicator line appears while you’re performing a task you want to repeat later, you can
undo back to before that step and try another approach, perhaps using the arrow keys.
Apply steps in the History panel to objects
You can apply a set of steps from the History panel to any object in the Document window.
If you select multiple objects and then apply steps to them from the History panel, the objects are treated as a single
selection and Dreamweaver attempts to apply the steps to that combined selection; however, you can apply a set of steps
only to a single object at a time.
To apply the steps to each object in a set of objects, you must make the last step in the series select the next object in the
set. The second procedure demonstrates this principle in a specific scenario: setting the vertical and horizontal spacing
of a series of images.
