Browsing Local File History
See Also
The IDE's local history functionality automatically maintains previous versions
of your project sources. You can use local history tools to do the following:
- create versions of a file
- compare two versions side-by-side
- revert your current file to a previous version
- recover previously deleted files
Each time you make changes to, then save (Ctrl-S) a file, the IDE automatically creates
a new version of that file.
To examine previous versions for a specific file:
- Select the file from the Projects or Files window and choose Local History
> Show Local History. A graphical Diff
Viewer opens in the main window.
- Select a version from the table displayed in the upper area of the graphical diff
viewer. Note that versions are chronologically ordered. Upon selecting a version,
the file automatically displays on the left side in the Diff Viewer below.
- You can label versions by clicking under the Label column in the row corresponding
to the selected version. Enter a label into the text field and press Enter.
