Project One: Save a copy

Create a new design
Create a custom dimension design of 500px by 500px
Add a solid color background
Add a photo
Add text
Add a graphic
Play around with undo and redo

Now if you return home, and then come back in to edit this design, you will no longer have access to the undo/redo. That is only available in the session and goes away if you leave the session. So if you are working on an important design and think you might need to keep a version, you will need to File/Make a copy.
