Lightroom cloud version Edit History

Where do I find my Edit History panel in the Cloud based Lightroom version?

Correct answer Conrad_C

One feature of Versions is Auto Versions. This gets you a little closer to History in Lightroom Classic, because you don’t have to manually create versions; it automatically creates them over time. It isn’t as granular as Lightroom Classic History because it doesn‘t list every edit step, but at least you can roll back to automatically generated points in time, all the way back to the original state. It’s enough to let you roll back to a time before a mistake was made.

 

In other words, Versions in Lightroom (manually created and named) are like Snapshots in Lightroom Classic, and Auto Versions (automatically created at certain time points) are the closest that Lightroom has to the History states in Lightroom Classic.

 

 

However, the many limitations in Lightroom cause me to prefer using Lightroom Classic for most work.

You don't. It's not there. Lightroom does not store History (as does Lightroom-Classic).

Best you can do is create Versions of the image you are editing.

Do you know if you can find all duplicates in LR?

"Find all duplicates in LR?"-  Only be sorting grid view by 'Capture Time' and visually comparing images that appear side-by-side.

Why not return to Classic?
