In the History Palette, what does stepping through edits allow you to do?

• A. Step forward only
• B. Step backward only
• C. Step forward and backward through edits
• D. Save the history state to disk

Answer: (C)

Stepping through edits in the History Palette lets you move through the sequence of changes in both directions. You can go back to earlier states to undo actions and compare how the image looked before those edits, then step forward again to reapply later edits or review how different steps affect the result. This bidirectional navigation enables true non-destructive editing, since you can experiment freely and revert to any previous point without losing the original data. Saving the history state to disk isn’t what stepping through edits does, and limiting movement to only one direction would prevent revisiting or reapplying edits as you explore.
