I will start off by quoting the last handful of suggestion comments here and just please follow suit. All you need to do is Quote a particular person's post and paste it here and make your comments and debate arguments here. Thanks and happy conversing

What you are asking for is a button that says save a temp copy of the file (checkpoint) before you start to edit it, and then a button that says revert to the temp copy.. Otherwise, you get into the concept of an audit trail which could be very costly and time consuming to implement.

I would like to see a "Undo all" feature added to the Editor. And what I mean by this is. I do a lot of coding on a site that I use for examples. And I like to undo all the changed before I close the file. I save in between edits but do not close the file. And when I am done with all the changes I have to hold CTRL+Z until all the changes have been undone.

No, because the program already saves all the changes you do for the document you have open. I could work on a site for an hour right now, and then Undo all changes I have made to that site just by hitting the undo button or holding the CTRL+Z. I just want something that says, skip to the very top of the undo list or even a script that would run even if it took a few seconds to finish.

Why not create a temp folder as a sibling of the one you want to keep unchanged, and make changes on the temp copy? If you're setting up for site visitors to try out an example and you want to keep the originals spotless, then I'd say a subfolder with practice files is the way to go. Just IMHO.
Yes, there have been times I goofed, opened or saved the wrong file, and blammo, there goes the original or the only copy. But er, aside from infrequent screwups, I've learned a few defensive editing / coding skills over the years.
I think what SirAGE is asking for would require either a sister file that saves the edits for an entire session per each open file, or a set of temporary files per session. A trail with some amount of overhead. That could be useful, but I can see how it could get confusing (for the user or the program) if, say, there's a crash. The cache would need to be cleared at a given point, by user request or by program action, such as at exit or start, or file close.

In my experience yes it does... But only if you do not close the file... It may take some time to get back to where the file started... But it seems it does.
Ben, the reason I do not start a sister site, is because then I would have to do that for each example that I do. And seeing as I have done 3 today, and 6 yesterday... That would be more work then it is worth.
I am just simply asking for either a list of the Edits that can be undone and redone. Or a Undo all button that takes ALL changes made to the file since I opened it...
