Action records associated with editable content objects

Abstract

A program manages various different parts of editable content, including one or more objects. Various different actions can be performed on an object to edit or change the object in some manner. A program presenting the editable content maintains one or more object action records, each object action record being a record of actions performed on a particular object of the editable content. A program can also maintain a document action record that includes indications of actions performed on parts of the editable content that are not objects having an associated object action record, as well as optionally actions performed on the objects having an associated object action record. In response to a user request to undo an action on a particular object, the actions in the object action list associated with the particular object are undone without undoing any intervening actions performed on other parts of the editable content.
