Does Dreamweaver have a History Log like Photoshop does?

I'm wondering if Dreamweaver has a History Log like Photoshop does. It's accessable in Photoshop through preferences but I'm not seeing an equivalent in Dreamweaver's preferences. Might it be accessable somewhere else or, more likely, it does not exist.

    It had a History panel at one point, many versions back, but it has been gone now for quite a while. 

    [Edit] It was removed from the program for Dreamweaver CC 2017: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/redesigned-menus.html

    Just for information, and to complete @Jon Fritz 's answer, at the time when the history panel was still active, there was a correlation with the Command panel, which only worked in display mode, and allowed to create commands from actions performed on a document.

    This panel is still accessible from the Tools menu, but is unusable unless commands already existed.

    Macromedia had a history management that was really operational, and complete... too bad!

    @blank308,

    History is rolled into Undo steps (Ctrl + Z).

    Repeat as many times as needed.

     

    The default History states are 50 but you can adjust that value from your Preferences panel.  See screenshot. 

    You can also limit Undo actions to the active document, if desired.
