How do I review designs without inadvertently making changes?

Whenever I look at my teams designs I sometimes hide components and rotate the view or even move components to understand the design. What is the easiest way to return the mode to the way it was when I opened it?

    If it is meant to be a review and not a release, you could branch it and play with the fork. It'll then not affect the main branch.

    I always review a version not a workspace. That way you can hide/show parts, rollback etc without making any of such ”changes” stick.

    Use isolate and/or make transparent. Those are only temporary and per user/session. Don’t touch hide/show.
