What it’s for

The History sidebar is a running record of every file in the project: every generation, every upload, every 3D world, whether or not it’s currently placed on a canvas. It’s in the app sidebar, not the canvas surface itself.

How it works

  • Everything shows up here: every file ever created or imported, across the whole project, not just the canvas you’re currently on. This is also the only place that includes 3D worlds.
  • Filter: narrow the list by who created each file.
  • Drag onto canvas: drag any file from History straight onto a canvas to bring it back.

Why it’s valuable

Nothing’s ever really lost. Delete a file from a canvas and it stays in History; drag it back onto any canvas whenever you need it. That makes it safe to keep a canvas clean and uncluttered, since removing something from view is never the same as deleting it for good.

When to use it

  • You deleted something from a canvas and want it back.
  • You’re looking for a file made earlier in the project that isn’t on the canvas you’re currently viewing.
  • You need something from outside the current Shotlist. Gen Studio only shows generations from the current Shotlist; History covers the whole project.
