Object level selective undo in digital graphic design documents

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• one or more processing devices coupled to the memory component, the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• generating a first modified digital design document from a digital design document by changing a first design object from a first version to a second version and then changing a second design object from a third version to a fourth version;
• generating an object-specific version representation comprising nodes for the first version and the second version of the first design object and the third version and the fourth version of the second design object, wherein the nodes correspond to data pointers that point to corresponding version information stored in a data file;
• and
• based on user interaction with an object-specific undo element, generating, utilizing the object-specific version representation, a second modified digital design document comprising the first design object in the first version and the second design object in the fourth version.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• generating a first modified digital design document from a digital design document by changing a first design object from a first version to a second version and then changing a second design object from a third version to a fourth version;
• generating an object-specific version representation comprising nodes for the first version and the second version of the first design object and the third version and the fourth version of the second design object, wherein the nodes correspond to data pointers that point to corresponding version information stored in a data file;
• receiving an additional user interaction indicating an object-specific undo operation on the first design object;
• in response to receiving the additional user interaction, identifying a node for the first version of the first design object and following a data pointer to retrieve data for the first version of the first design object within the data file;
• and
• generating, based on the data for the first version, a second modified digital design document comprising the first design object in the first version and the second design object in the fourth version.
