See it in context
What it is
Undo restores an earlier state in an editing history, while redo reapplies a change that was undone. Labels or tooltips can name the next operation that will be affected.
When to use it
Disable unavailable directions and explain the next undo or redo operation.
Know the difference
Reset replaces the current value with a default; undo steps through actual editing history.
