Non-destructive editing

Non-destructive editing refers to editing techniques that allow you to make changes to a digital file without altering the original data permanently. Instead of overwriting or deleting the original content, edits are stored separately, enabling you to adjust, revert, or fine-tune modifications at any time. This approach preserves the original quality and provides flexibility, making it easier to experiment and refine your work without losing the initial version. Common in photo editing, video editing, and audio production, non-destructive editing ensures your source files remain intact throughout the creative process.
