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, wherein a transaction is a sequence of EDA operations that includes at least one operation to create, edit, or delete a circuit element in a circuit design; receiving a first sequence of EDA operations performed by a first user during a first design session in the EDA environment; receiving an indication that the first transaction has ended, wherein the indication that the first transaction has ended is automatically generated if a second indication that a new transaction has started is received while the first transaction is ongoing; associating a name for the first transaction with the first sequence of EDA operations; storing the name for the first transaction in the transaction history; receiving an undo input from a user to undo the first transaction; extracting information associated with the first sequence of EDA operations, wherein the extracted information includes an object name in the circuit design; rolling back the first sequence of EDA operations, thereby returning the data to a state prior to the first sequence of EDA operations; receiving a user input to restore a data modification associated with at least a portion of the first sequence of EDA operations; and restoring the data modification associated with at least a portion of the first sequence of EDA operations, wherein the restored data modification is populated with the extracted information.
