Windows > Information > History View
(see Deprecated, replaced, and removed features and components)
Shows or hides the history view window, which lets you view and edit the construction history of the picked objects.
The history window shows operations you have performed that are maintaining construction history.
The History Visualizer provides more efficient ways of working with construction history. It not only provides improved viewing and editing features, but also it lets you replace inputs to tools and create construction history presets. For more information see Windows > Information > History Visualizer.
