Photoshop Undo Toggles Everything

Question

Hi guys, first time posting.Command+Z toggles ALL ny activity instead of just undoing my last action.Example, I will heal/clone or add a filter anf the toggle the layer on and off to see the before and after, then I will might want to undo that filter or heal/clone but the shortcut will first go through all my clicks of turning on and off the layer before it gets to undoing my last effect (filter or heal/cloning). How do I get it to just undo the action/effect and not evey single clicks I made??

After some lenghty search within Photoshop, I found the answer to my problem in History Options. Thank you for your help Jane.

Ctrl + Z should undo one step at a time. Ctrl+Alt+Z will Toggle to the previous state and may jump to a state you were working on earlier. A few things I can think of to look at first:

Make sure your Alt key isn't stuck
See if it works correctly from Edit > Undo without the shortcut
Open your History panel (Window menu) and watch to see exactly what is happening
If it is going all the way back to the last time you saved, check to see which shortcut is assigned to File > Revert.

Shortcuts can be removed and reassigned in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, and you can see the current assignment in the menus. Let us know what you find.
