1. A computer-implemented method for maintaining a transaction history of an electronic-design-automation (EDA) environment, comprising: receiving an indication that a first transaction has started; receiving one or more user inputs that are associated with a sequence of EDA operations that modifies data, stored in a computer-readable medium, wherein the data is associated with a circuit design; receiving an indication that the first transaction has ended; associating a first transaction's name with the sequence of EDA operations; and storing the first transaction's name in the transaction history.
