GIVE US A HISTORY PANEL IN ILLUSTRATOR!

I've made several adjustments to image trace that update the image each time, and I want to go back to right before I applied the image trace in the first place. Can I do that? No. There's no way to see where I am in the list of hundreds of steps I've taken tinkering around with this particular image.

I searched through the forums and all I found were MANY people with the same complaint dating back years, and a few condescending and dense users saying that a history panel is pointless and lazy. If you don't like the history panel, don't use it.

For me a history panel saves time and improves my efficiency. I am able to look at the list of steps that I've taken and go back to a specific point in the process WITHOUT HAVING TO HIT CTRL-Z OVER AND OVER! I'm able to identify where I might have hit a keystroke unintentionally. Efficiency and transparency. The list of adobe programs that incorporate history panels is ALMOST ALL OF THEM!

Very frustrated right now. Probably need to go eat something.
