Mirror and continue to mirror new features

I am working on a design and was wondering if there’s a way to mirror as I work.  That I mean is say I mirror a simple extruded region and now want to extrude a new sketched region from anew sketch.  Right now I am dragging my new sketch and new extrude above the mirror operation.  Is there a way to “pin” the mirror operation or keep it below my changes so I don’t have to manually move the new elements above the mirror.

Thanks for any suggestions

    Move your rollback bar above the mirror. New features will then be inserted there. You could keep a second window open with the rollback bar at the end, after the mirror. 

    If you just want to edit features before the mirror and see the result, you can just use the Final button (with the rollback bar at the end).

    Ok, I have seen the roll back bar but didn’t understand it. I will look at how to use it.  I knew I just didn’t know what I didn’t know.  🙃 Thanks!

    @S1mon that was way easier to use than I thought, thanks very much for your help.
