Summary0004496: Changes to Data in Studio Are Not Part of Undo/Redo Stack, and Do Not Contain a Manual Saving Feature
Description

Currently, any changes made to Data, either in the Data Panel, or in the Data Properties Panel are automatically saved, cannot be undone/restored.
Combined with the lack of a method to manually save content written to data, oftentimes results in permanent data loss whilst using Studio.

Repro Steps:

1) Open the Ombra sample from the InternalProjects repo.

2) Navigate to the Data Panel, and double click on any amount of Data Structures or DataSets, and give any of them a new name.

3) Press Ctrl+Z to undo the name change.
Observe how the previous name has now been lost forever.

4) Select any of the Data Structures, and in its Properties Panel, double click on any of the Property names, and rename them.

5) Press Ctrl+Z to undo the name change.
Observe how the previous name has now been lost forever.

6) Select the CharacterData DataSet, and in its Properties Panel, click the "Expand All" button.

7) Edit any of the Character Names or Descriptions.

8) Press Ctrl+Z to undo any of the changes made to the DataSet's values.
Observe how the previous name has now been lost forever.

Expected Results: Permanent Data Loss cannot so easily occur within Studio.

Proposed changes as shown in the following Figma file:
https://www.figma.com/design/TmgDGVleIhKZwkLLgF1ZjW/UX-February-2026?node-id=0-1&t=ZJxdeMmPBNmmvaYe-1

RECOMMENDATIONS

Data panel focus and changes should become part of the Undo stack

When the Data panel is focused, the currently selected Viewport Tab should go to a Selected and Unfocused state

The selected Unfocused state is presented to the user with the tab visible and colors changed as described: Background | Darkest Gray (0C0D0D) Foreground | Silver Gray (CED5D9) | Top border disabled.

There's a Prototype showing the proposed changes here:

Awesome Prototype, Francesc!
One thing I didn't realise before trying your prototype, is how effective deselecting all Stage items when in the Data Panels helps to make it clear that you're not in that scope at that moment.
It's actually way more effective than just the current Page's Tab Overline as I had originally imagined it. Gives me confidence that oth the Tab de-overlining, and the Stage contents deselecting will be enough to message this state to the user. I think we should definitely start here with exactly this, and see if it works as well in practice as in theory.
Thanks for making this!

Since we have global undo/redo stack, the changes are now part of the stack. Should we close this issue?
