July 2026 summary: Delivered two feature sets that unify editor workflows and strengthen data integrity across Asset Editor and Inspectors in o3de/o3de. Asset Editor Undo/Redo System introduces a history of edits and consistent keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl X, C, V, D) across the inspector, LyShine inspector, and hierarchy, plus enhanced clipboard handling during duplication and save fixes applied across tools. Clipboard and Save Workflow Improvements standardize shortcuts (Ctrl X/C/V/D, Ctrl+S), ensure edits are committed before saving, and improve duplication behavior across inspector components. Together, these changes reduce risk of data loss, shorten iteration cycles, and provide a more predictable editing experience across the product.
