Learn how to undo the changes you make in Adobe Premiere Elements.
Undo changes incrementally
If you change your mind about an edit or effect, Adobe Premiere Elements provides several ways to undo your work. You can undo only those actions that alter video content; for example, you can undo an edit, but you cannot undo scrolling a panel.
- To undo or redo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo. (You can sequentially undo a series of recent changes.)
- To undo a change and all successive changes that occurred since you last opened a project, delete it from the History panel.
- To stop a change that Adobe Premiere Elements is processing (for example, when you see a progress bar), press Esc.
- To undo all changes made since you last saved the project, choose File > Revert.
To undo changes made before you last saved a project, try opening a previous version in the Adobe Premiere Auto‑Save folder. Then choose File > Save As to store the project outside the Adobe Premiere Auto‑Save folder. The number of changes you can undo depends on the Auto Save preference settings.
Undo any previous change
The History panel records the changes you make to a project. Each time you add a clip, insert a marker, or apply an effect, the History panel adds that action to its list. The tool or command you used appears in the panel along with an identifying icon. You can use the panel to quickly undo several changes. When you select a change in the panel, the project returns to the state of the project at the time of that change. The more recent changes turn gray and disappear when you make your following change.
History panel
The History panel in Premiere Elements provides a space for reviewing and accessing the sequence of your actions, allowing you to undo or redo specific steps according to your requirements. To get to the History panel, select Window> History. After finding the History panel, you can utilize it to monitor your activities and move through the chronological record of alterations you've executed within your Premiere Pro project.
Use the History panel to jump to any state of the project created during the current working session. Each time you apply a change to some part of the project, the new state of that project is added to the panel. You can modify the project from the state you select.
The following guidelines can help you with the History panel:
Program-wide changes, such as changes to panels, windows, and preferences, are not changes to the project itself and so are not added to the History panel.
After you close and reopen the project, the previous states are no longer available in the History panel.
The oldest state is at the top of the list, and the most recent one is at the bottom.
Each state is listed with the name of the tool or command used to change the project as well as an icon representing the tool or command. Some actions generate a state for each panel affected by the action, such as the Titler. Actions you perform in such a panel are treated as a single state in the History panel.
Selecting a state dims those below it, to indicate which changes are removed if you work from the project at that state.
Selecting a state and then changing the project removes all subsequent states.

Do any of the following:
To select a state, select the name of the state in the History panel.
To navigate in the History panel, drag the panel’s slider or scroll bar, or choose Step Forward or Step Backward from the panel menu.
To delete a project state, select the state. Then choose Delete from the panel menu or select the Delete icon and select OK.
To clear all states from the History panel, choose Clear History from the menu.
In Premiere Elements 2025, from the context menu, you can decide the number of states (up to 100) that will be recorded in history.
