specify a color for each type of dynamic guide. See “Preferences - Application -
Dynamic Guides Color.” In Mac OS X you set the color for the dynamic guides using

Color Theme.”
Undoing and redoing actions
The Undo command (Edit menu) reverses the last action performed on an item. For
example, if you accidentally cut a picture box, the Undo command will bring the
picture box back into the layout from the Clipboard. The Redo command (Edit
menu) lets you reimplement an action you had undone.
Choose Edit > Undo (Command+Z/Ctrl+Z) to reverse the last action performed. The
menu item identifies the specific action that can be undone. For example, the Undo
Deletion command is available in the Edit menu after you have used the Item >
Delete command. Undo displays as gray text when the Undo feature is unavailable.
To reimplement the action, choose Edit > Redo (Command+Shift+Z/Ctrl+Y) after
you undo an action.
