Solution

Each entry in the stack could typically be a command or an action performed. This is because the undo feature works by reversing the most recent actions. By storing each action in a stack (which follows a Last-In-First-Out structure), the most recent action can be easily accessed and reversed. This wouldn't be as efficient if the stack stored the position of the cursor, a pointer to the previous document state, or a copy of the entire document.
