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

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.
