This class has an instance that is available in editor as: editor.history.

undo(steps)

• steps - how many steps to undo, default is 1 if not specified

Undo a number of steps from the history stack

redo(steps)

• steps - how many steps to redo, default is 1 if not specified

Redo a number of steps from the history stack

beginTransaction(name)

• name - the name of the undo transaction (as a group of actions)

This will start a history transaction of adding multiple actions as a group

cancelTransaction()

Cancels a started transaction. Used when adding actions in a transaction, and some add action failed or data is not valid

endTransaction()

Ends a transaction successfuly and EXECUTES ALL REDO functions from all the added actions in this transaction.

commitAction(name, data, undoFunc, redoFunc)

• name - the name of the action, in the example format “MyCreateWhatever” do not add Action at the end of the string
• data - the data used by both undo and redo functions, where you keep new and old information about the action done
• undoFunc - the undo function, which has the format: local function myCreateWhateverUndo(actionData)
• redoFunc - the redo function, which has the format: local function myCreateWhateverRedo(actionData)

This adds the action on the undo stack AND EXECUTES THE REDO function with the given data table as argument. When this function is called inside a beginTransaction/endTransaction, it will not execute the redo function until endTransaction, when all the redo functions of all the added actions inside that transaction are called at once.
