Use this dialog to explore changes to a file, or selection. There are two views in this dialog:
- History view in the left-hand part
- Differences view in the right-hand part
The same dialog boxes are available on the context menu of a file or selected text in the editor.
History view
This view shows the list of revisions (states) of a file, with the date and time when the revision was stored. Some of the revisions are supplied with tags and labels.
Revisions are tagged automatically, for example, on opening a project, committing changes, or performing test. You can also set your own labels.

Differences view

If a revision is selected in the History view, the left-hand pane of the Differences view shows this read-only revision, with the differences against the current revision which is displayed in the right-hand pane. The current revision can be edited.
