Work with the History panel
You can use the History panel to jump to any recent state of the image created during the current working session.
Each time you apply a change to an image, the new state of that image is added to the panel.
For example, if you select, paint, and rotate part of an image, each of those states is listed separately in the panel. When
you select one of the states, the image reverts to how it looked when that change was first applied. You can then work
from that state.
You can also use the History panel to delete image states and, in Photoshop, to create a document from a state or
snapshot.
To display the History panel, choose Window
> History, or click the History panel tab.
