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.
