The history panel has been rebuilt around the thing you actually scan for: what changed, and when.
At first glance you can see the status, who started the deployment, when the deployment happened, the commit message, and how many resources were created or destroyed. Expand to see the details.
Selecting a past deployment no longer snaps your canvas to it. You preview it and apply the historical state deliberately, with a separate button, so browsing history can't clobber unsaved work. You will also be able to see active deployments in this list.
We've also updated the flow of the apply, with commit messages now being required. To keep that from being a chore, you can generate a short summary of your changes as the default message. Now every entry in the history carries something meaningful even when you don't type one yourself.
