Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) doesn't have a develop module. There is no edit history to draw from in Lightroom CC.

Lightroom CC does not have a History Panel.

PS: Because of this on top of another hundred essential features missing in the CC version, I wouldn't suggest using LR CC if you are a professional. Use the full Classic version.

I see this is an oldish thread. Quite new to Lightroom. On April 12, 2020 - today! -  I went in search of an answer to my question "where is the history panel in Abobe Photoshop Lightroom Version 3.2" and I ended up here. The correct answer as shown here is that there isn't one. Hmmm...is there another version like Classic or something that does all that this CC version does BUT has history? It seems like a basic requirement and something that many people would want to use. Am I missing something here?

Hi There,

 

I have the exact same question.  I also got the new version in April & I am really missing my history!

Let me know if you discover anything.

Hi. I found there is a history panel in LRC, not LR CC so I have moved everything across into Lightroom Classic. Well worth it. Good luck.

Yes, this is for Lightroom CC. Are you in the Develop module? Check the screenshot below to see where History typically appears.

If you are already in the Develop module and you don't see the History panel, can you post a screenshot so we can see what's going on?

@DelphiZoaThat is not Lightroom CC, it is Lightroom Classic CC. Lightroom CC has no separate Develop module

Hi Juliem,

Open the history panel to the left of the Lightroom Develop module. All your edits should be there in chronological order.

is this in Lightroom CC?  I do not see a history panel on the left side, only the library folders.
