What did you mean by "non-destructive image editing" in the PHPicker session?

When the presenter lists use cases that you still need to use the old picker (requesting the user permission to access the Photo Library), they mention:

  1. Non-destructive image editing;

  2. Photo Library organization.

I understand that the photo library organization means managing albums and deleting photo, for instance. But it's not clear what the non-destructive image editing means. Is it referred to the allowsEditing property that UIImagePickerController has but PHPicker doesn't?

Thank you in advance!

Non-destructive editing refers to editing with PHContentEditingInput and PHContentEditingOutput. It allows apps to apply edits which can be later changed by the same app (e.g. changing the color of a Markup annotation) or be reverted to the original version by the user.

Check out the Editing Asset Content documentation for more Information on this topic.
