Make Snapshots for History panel
I'd like to be able to TAKE SNAPSHOT
Then a History panel would show each snapshot, rather than hundreds of moves and tweaks.
A undo/redo shortcut modifier to step back or forward through snapshots.
A trash can on the history panel to remove a snapshot.

Thank you!!

I see. This feels exactly like snapshots.
Would you mind me merging this request into the one form the comment below?
You can veto it, since yours specifically states it should be cloud-based, and I’m afraid Adobe won’t force local document changes into cloud, unless they are specifically cloud docs (and many users would abhor this, because some work has to stay local and private). -
Yes, the history panel works like an "undo" tool, recording (text) actions like copying, moving, typing, and scaling. However, it could be enhanced to act more like a "save as" feature within the document. This way, it would keep a record of all actions and allow users to see what was done, even after the document is closed.

Haithem, have you checked the Version History panel (and I see you did, judging by the icon you used in your mockup)? It works only with cloud-based .aic files, but seems to do exactly what you need.
What would you like to change in the way it works? -
Sometimes, while working on a design, you realize a previous version was better, or you accidentally overwrite an important change. WorkFlow History would solve this by automatically saving snapshots of your work in the cloud even if you close the document. You could easily go back, compare versions, or restore specific parts without losing progress.
It also keeps things organized. no more confusing file names like ‘final_final2.’ And if you’re working with a team, you can track changes and fix mistakes easily. It’s a simple way to make your workflow more reliable and less stressful.
