TOOL CONFIGURATION HISTORY IN A USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting a first icon that indicates a current configuration of a tool within a user interface in which content is presented,the current configuration specifying a current effect of the tool on an attribute of the content presented in the user interface;
presenting a second icon that indicates availability of a previous configuration of the tool within the user interface,the previous configuration specifying a previous effect of the tool on the attribute of the content presented in the user interface;
detecting a user input indicative of a request that the current configuration of the tool be replaced with the previous configuration of the tool within the user interface; and
configuring the tool according to the previous configuration that specifies the previous effect of the tool on the attribute,the configuring of the tool being performed by a processor of a machine based on the detecting of the user input indicative of the request that the current configuration of the tool be replaced with the previous configuration of the tool.

Abstract
An example device may present content within a user interface on a display screen. The user interface may support a tool that is controllable by a user to modify the content. Such a tool may be configurable to have various effects on the content. The tool may have a current configuration that specifies a current effect of the tool on the content presented in the user interface, and the current configuration may be distinct from a previous configuration that specifies a previous effect of the tool on the content. The device presents a first icon that indicates the current configuration of a tool and may present a second icon that indicates a previous configuration of the tool. The device may detect user input that indicates a request that the current configuration be replaced with the previous configuration. The device may configure the tool according to the previous configuration.
