Undo reverses the latest available editing action. Redo can reapply an action just undone. This paper editor treats each named replacement as one action. After an undo, a new edit starts a new branch and clears redo. Real apps may group typing differently or limit history; read their available commands.

Worked example

Start with red. Replace it with blue, then replace blue with gold. One Undo returns blue. A second Undo returns red. One Redo then returns blue.

EDIT HISTORY: MAP -> MOON -> STAR: Each arrow is one action. UNDO TWICE; REDO ONCE: STAR -> MOON -> MAP -> MOON: New edit: MOON -> SUN.
Read the labeled example and the full passage before answering.

The Pretend Title History

Start with MAP. Action 1 replaces the whole title with MOON. Action 2 replaces the whole title with STAR. Perform one Undo, then another Undo, then one Redo. Finally replace the current whole title with SUN as a new action. Our fictional editor clears the redo branch after that new edit. The example makes no claim about restoring deleted files or recovering a closed app.

Question 1 What is the title immediately after the first Undo?
Question 2 What is the title after the second Undo?
Question 3 What is the title after the following single Redo?
Question 4 After the new SUN edit, can Redo recover STAR in this model?
Question 5 Does Undo prove that an independent backup exists?
