Retouch reset

After doing some retouching using Eraser and Clone and Stamp I want to reset some of my efforts. I know that I can go to Settings > Reset all Retouch Settings and it works.

But talk about crude! I don't want to reset all retouches I want to reset, say, Erase only. I.E., the one I'm working with. Why isn't there a box when the Erase Tool is in use that says Reset or Undo? Ditto for Clone and Stamp and Retouch Brush.

Now there are two boxes bottom right which say Reset All and Reset. Ah! Reset will be what I want, but no it wipes everything.

Am I missing something? Surely to goodness something as obvious as this should have been addressed a long time ago.

  At the top menu bar select -- Edit - Undo  or keyboard shortcut CTRL + Z this will undo your last action. So if you made a retouch stroke you want removed simply Undo. You can Undo multiple times to undo as many actions as you like. Altenatively if you click on the History tab on the upper right panel you will see a list of actions you have made during the current edit session. You can double click on the last action you want to return to and all the actions after that one will be undone.  Note this only works during the current edit session, once you go back to browse the Undo feature is lost. Once you go back to browse and return to Edit you would have to "Reset all Retouch Tools" to eliminate retouch brush strokes.

  Geez! Where was my brain? 20 years of Lightroom will do that to you.

  Thanks for your help.
