The Histogram, that curious mountain range depicting where in the image the tones sit in relation to absolute black and absolute white, is a very handy tool. At a glance, you can tell whether an image is overexposed or underexposed.

History panel

History contains a list of all the steps and mouse clicks that are made while editing an image. Everything is recorded in a linear fashion, so it's entirely possible to go back in time to a previous edit state in order to re-work a specific part of the edit process. It doesn't allow you to combine different states—once a state has been deleted, everything later than that is also lost.
