Suggested Component
I find it hard to manipulate in the SmartSim environment at ease especially when i have placed a wrong component on the worksheet. The app does not support undo and redo feature that could help users to revert back previous action or move back to the succeeding action. So, I suggest adding a redo and undo functionality on SmartSim.

Proposal with Mockups and Examples
The suggested feature will have the following: 1. a redo and undo button that is located on the toolbar; and, 2. a interface that allows user to do the redo and undo functionality using the keyboard keys. The current SmartSim platform environment does not have any undo and redo functionality. Now, this will be the new component editor for SmartSim. Users can now use the undo and redo functionality thru this buttons. At the same time, the undo and redo functions can also called out using CTRL + Z (undo) and CTRL + R (redo) on the keyboard, which was lacking on the original platform. In addition, this functionality should also be available inside the customized component editor in SmartSim.

Benefits
This are the following benefits enjoyed by the user when suggestion is considered and implemented. 1. Easier way to revert actions done on the worksheet especially for misplaced or wrong component connection. 2. User have an ease in designing circuit with this added functionalities. 3. Enhance user-experience of the app that leads to better time efficiency and reduce hassle in designing different circuits. Overall, the SmartSim will become more user-friendly that leads to increase productivity and less error in using the platform.
