Toggle all adjustments
In each tool tab, I know you can hold option and toggle any adjustments made on and off. But what if you want to toggle ALL adjustments that you've made? Is there a way to see that?

Hi,
No, unfortunately, it is not possible. The only way to do it, if you want to compare your picture before and after all the adjustments is to create a variant in such a way that you can display simultaneously the original and the adjusted pictures.

Command + R will reset all adjustments.
Command + Z will undo.
Cycling between command+R and command+Z will show you before and after of all of your adjustments.0 -

I can't help but feel that this is perhaps the most risky approach to the requirement.
Get get it wrong and end up deleting the edits and a lot of editing time could be wasted.

Then make a clone and have a back up.
Is there another alternative to viewing before and after of all adjustments on a single image?
In my experience comparing before and after adjustments using two images side by side has never been as satisfying or revealing as toggling the adjustments on and off on a single image.0 -
Also, undo has many states so if you accidentally hit something besides command+R or command+Z you can undo your mistake as well, no? 0 -

If you always want to go back to the original state for some reason than start off with a clone and edit that.
If not edit your image and then, should you feel the need to see its' original state, create a NEW variant.
Once you have the 2 "variants", select them. In the viewer you can choose to see both at the same time or only the "Primary" version. If you want to see the the effect of the edits "overlayed" rather than side by side, select the Single image mode on the viewer and then just swap between the images. Using Windows that can be as easy as using the left and right arrows. If you only have 2 images selected either will do as the selection loops around. This is also quite useful for multiple selected variants of an image.
I assume that Macs offer the same functionality although there may be a slightly different keystroke selection requirement to achieve the same results.
Thus is also useful for seeing the effects or differences between intermediate edit states when using multiple variants - something that cannot be addressed by viewing the original "unedited" image.
HTH.

Of course, switch between the two variants!
Ha, I thought of that after I posted, duh.
Yes, I like your method too thank you for sharing.
I think both methods are different ways of doing the same thing. I've been doing the Cmd+R and Cmd+Z for a while simply because it is quick and haven't had any issues so I don't particularly feel it is risky, but I do understand where you're coming in thinking that it could potentially cause a problem if your not careful.
More often I just want to compare one tools adjustment at a time so will use the option+reset for any given tool to make the needed comparison.0 -

That I can agree with totally since I use another application (very occasionally these days) that has such a facility.
However, early on I found that using C1 required less switch on and off activity than the other application. Indeed less effort all round ... so the need became less important.
The other application also has a concept similar to variants. So one can have multiple edits of the same file and flip between them. However you cannot display side by side other than in the browser.
So plan "B" for editing is to do something with the original, create a variant, continue editing the new variant (you can compare with the original or the previous variant of course) and then repeat as needed.
If you decide you have really moved on from a previous variant just delete the variant. Only that set of edit instructions will be removed, the others will remain.
The concept is similar to those products that offer "filter" (in the linear days concept of lens filters) and show 9 or so variations on the them in thumbnail size.
It seems to be a popular approach and is easy to replicate in a controlled way in C1 ... except it won't be thought of that way because it is not served up as a pre-selection with a whole load of other stuff we will never use! 😉
And of course there are many who would suggest that constant comparisons of one change with its "before" state really should not be necessary and we should, usually though perhaps not always, have confidence in the changes we make.
Everyone works differently and in many ways that is a good thing but we very often dislike even considering changes to methodology that has been learned through hard experience over a long period. Sometimes a "reset" of our own needs should be undertaken - or at least an honest re-appraisal so that we ensure we are still getting the maximum benefit, for our individual purposes, from what is newly available to us.
What will come first?
A system powerful enough (and enough screens) that we can set is up to cover everything we want to see at all times and all we need to do to see a "slide show", for example, of the changes made by the past x edit actions to save us having to do the work to make them visible .... or an application that just does things, asks which we like, keeps those using AI to build the edits and "understand" what we "like" in the first few days of use then starts to make such edits for us asking only for confirmation that we like what it has done?
My guess is that the second suggestion may arrive first. If not I would still suggest that the first suggestion might have a very short life before it is replaced by the second for 99% of people who record digital images.0
