MacNQC provides the ability to undo multiple edits, one action at a time. The number of edits that may be undone is limited only by available memory.

The Undo command essentially reverses any change you may have made to the content of your file. Each action, which is bounded by a mouse click or arrow key, is one undo-able incident.

MacNQC also supports multiple Redos. If you havenÕt made any changes after performing an Undo, you can redo each action, in order, by selecting that command from the Edit menu, or typing Command- Shift-Z. However,once you perform a new action, you cannot redo any actions that you undid before you made that change.
