# History View

Clip history presents a schematic or list representation of the majority of operations performed on a clip or timeline element. Clip history makes it possible to easily return to a module and tweak settings. It also simplifies collaboration: multiple users working on a single clip can use the clip history to navigate the changes made to it. Clip history is a convenient access point for modifying clips, since you can immediately jump to the module effect or soft effect of interest without disturbing any of the other effects.

NoteIn Backdraft Conform, although you can view the history of a clip, you cannot adjust its settings or make any changes.

Clips and elements that have an associated history are indicated in the clip library, EditDesk, and timeline by an H icon. Before you can use clip history, you must enable it in the Preferences menu. See History.
