Undoing Changes Using the History
Feature
The VENUE system automatically saves the current state of the
system while you are working, allowing you to quickly return the
system to a previous state.
The History feature uses Show files to capture the system state,
and displays the files in the History tab.
Show Folders in the History tab
There are two Show Folders in the History tab:
 The Most Recent Changes folder includes all auto-saved Show
files for a ten-hour period.
 The Previous Days folder includes only the last auto-saved
Show file for each day since the system was last cleared.
Show Files in the History tab
The auto-saved Show files displayed in the History tab are named
according to the date and time of their creation, and cannot be re-
named.
The Notes field for each auto-saved Show file includes a descrip-
tion of the conditions that caused the automatic save.
Several conditions cause the system to automatically save a new
Show file in the History tab, as follows:
 In the course of normal work, a new Show file is automatically
saved in the History tab approximately every ten minutes. Saves
are less frequent when the system is idle.
 A new Show file is automatically saved just prior to a signifi-
cant change in the system setup, including:
• Change of system channel or bus configuration
• Recall, storage, or modification of a Snapshot
• Loading of Console Settings or a Show
Loading an Auto-Saved Show
To return the system to an earlier state at any time, you can load
any of the auto-saved Show files displayed in the History tab.
To load an auto-saved Show file:
1 Go to the Filing page and click the History tab.
2 In the Show Folders column, click the Show Folder name to
select the folder and display its contents in the Shows column.
3 In the Shows column, click the name for the Show you want
load.
Click the Load button.
The VENUE system loads the selected Show file, replacing the
current system configuration, routing, and control settings with
those contained in the selected file.
Using the Standalone software on a laptop computer, you can
configure VENUE system routing, set up mixes, create Snap-
shots, and save Shows and Presets. You can then transfer
your data to a USB disk for use on an S3L system or other
VENUE system. See Chapter 23, “Using the Standalone Soft-
ware.”
Show Folders and Show files displayed in the History tab can
only be deleted. They cannot be duplicated or renamed.
