of edits
When you undo an edit or a series of edits, they are added to the redo history. This
feature allows you to restore your project to a previous state.
Note: From the Edit menu choose Undo All to undo all edits in
the history. All edits are undone and added to the redo history.
Using redo
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z or clicking the Redo button on the toolbar redoes the last undo performed. Repeatedly using the keyboard
command or toolbar button continues redoing undos in reverse order, from most recent to oldest. In addition, you may redo the last
edit by choosing it from the Edit menu.
Redoing a series of edits
The redo history may be viewed by clicking the arrow on the right side of the Redo button on the toolbar, revealing a drop-down
list composed of previously undone edits. The top item is the most recent undo edit. If you redo a specific edit that appears farther
down the list, all subsequent edits above it are redone as well.
When you redo an edit or a series of edits, they are added to the undo history again. The redo history is cleared when a new edit is
performed.
Clearing the edit history
You may clear both undo and redo histories without closing your project or exiting CD Architect software. Once the histories have been
cleared, CD Architect software begins creating a new edit history as you continue working on the project. While clearing the edit history
is not usually necessary, it can free up disk space. To clear the edit history, from the Edit menu, choose Clear Edit History.
Adding project markers and regions
CD Architect software provides several types of project markers that identify parts of your project, serve as cues, and provide additional
functionality:
• Markers - points that you mark along the project’s timeline. They are typically used to mark locations in the project for later reference
or to mark timing cues.
• Regions - ranges of time that you mark along the timeline. Regions identify ranges of time for your reference and can function as
permanent time selections.
• CD layout markers - markers that indicate CD tracks and indices for an audio CD layout. These markers are used to create CD tracks
and index points when burning an audio CD.
Working with markers
Markers are useful for identifying and navigating to specific locations in longer projects. As
