look at the history of a composite object

  

If you want to browse through the history of a composite object (look at old versions), either click on the window button `History ...' or type the command meta-l meta-h. This will create a window with circled numbers, which are the previous versions of the composite object. Clicking in a circle makes the view using the old versions of the the components and makes the window uneditable. If you wish to return to the latest version, simply click on the leftmost circle (this also make it editable again). Figure 3.7 gives an example of such a history graph. The leftmost circle represents the logical composition, whereas the other circles represent a version of the composition. If, as in figure 3.8, the word `hidden' appears, that means that there are previous versions, but not all are shown in the graph. Clicking on `hidden' will fetch the set of versions immediately prior to the version to the right of the word `hidden' (in figure 3.8, the set of versions prior to version 895).
