title: Can I return to an earlier timeline state after an AI edit?
description: Use undo or a checkpoint to recover the edit you want to continue from.

Yes. Undo the last edit, or restore a checkpoint. Agent edits stay part of the same editable timeline in invideo Editor.

To undo your most recent edit on a Mac, press **Command + Z (⌘Z)** while working in the timeline.

To return to an earlier state, restore a checkpoint. invideo keeps a backup of the state you leave, so you can go back to it. Your agent does this with `timeline_history`, or in a terminal with `invideo branch restore`.

To try a different approach and keep the current cut, use a **branch**.
