File History and Backups

SlickEdit's Backup History is disabled in SlickEdit Core. Eclipse maintains their own backup history which
you can access using the History view (Window

Show View

Other, expand Team and click

History).

You can, however, use DIFFzilla

®

to compare and merge with the History view, instead of using the de-

fault Eclipse compare tool.

Compare Two Backup History Elements Using DIFFzilla

• Right-click on a file in an Eclipse explorer view (Package Explorer, Project Explorer, etc.) and select

Compare With

Local History. This will activate the History view if necessary.

• Select the two revisions that you want to compare, right-click, and select Compare with Each Other

(DIFFzilla).

Compare a Local Backup History Element with the Current
