Removes the last change made to your project. Harmony supports multiple undo, so you can undo changes you made in the order you made them.

Redoes an operation you have undone. This command is active only after you use the Undo command.

Places an object you cut or copied into the location you select in a view.

Opens the Paste Special dialog box which lets you determine how templates and symbols are imported in the Timeline view.

There are advanced paste options for drawings, timings, keyframes, layers, as well as palettes and symbols.

Pastes new drawings with the previous Paste Special settings.

Cycles a portion of an animation. You can increase or decrease the number of cycles to paste and select a type of cycle: Normal, Reverse, Forward-Reverse and Reverse-Forward.

Removes selected objects.

Selects all drawing objects in the current drawing window in the Drawing, Timeline and Camera views. This helps you manage multiple objects as one when moving them.

Deselects all selected objects in the Drawing and Camera views.

Deselects the currently selected items and selects all other items that were not selected. For example, if some lines are selected in a drawing, this command will deselect them and select any other lines in the drawing that were not selected.

Creates a symbol from selected drawing elements in the Drawing or Camera view, nodes in the Node view, or a layer or cells in the Timeline view.

Lets you bring together (merge) the layer or drawings from different versions of the same scene.

Extracts a symbol's contents and places it on the root timeline. Its contents will be copied and inserted into the root timeline. The symbol will not be removed from the Timeline view once it is expanded.

The symbol's layers will be parented to it in case you created motions and transformations on the drawing layer that contain the symbol. Breaking the hierarchy could result in the loss of any scaling and animation you may have created.

Expands a symbol within a group to avoid crowding the timeline with a series of layers. When you expand the symbols, the layers will be contained in a group node that you can expand to see the content.

Creates a copy of the drawings in the selected layer in the Timeline view or column in the Xsheet view. The timing it not copied.

Creates a copy of the drawings and their timings in the selected layer in the Timeline view or column in the Xsheet view.

There are two methods of merging drawings.

• You can merge selected drawings in adjacent elements. The columns and layers will be left intact, and each new merged drawing will reside in the frames of the left-most column or lower layer.
• You can merge elements. All drawings will be merged. Unused columns and layers will be deleted, but the original drawing files are still accessible.
