It's the biggest gripe I have with Pixelmator and the only thing keeping me from completely switching from Lightroom.

In Lightroom, I can make one million edits to a file, save, quit the app, then reopen the app and undo all the edits or go back to any one of the previous edits.

In Pixelmator, you can't do that. Very frustrating.

All edits are stored and can be retrieved by going File->Revert To…Browse all Versions… and because it stores in its own file format the original will be left untouched - so you can grab a new "original" file.
Pixelmator Pro don´t overwrite your image by default unless you explicit allow it.
