Did you know... There's a way to track changes in the editor? - #023

Tracking Changes

  • Yellow – you’ve edited these lines since your last save.  Yellow becomes Green upon saving.
  • Green – the lines you’ve edited before your last save.  Save again and Green disappears.

Not seeing it?  Go to Tools - Options Dialog, and on the Text Editor - General page, check the Track changes checkbox.  And now you know how to turn it off =)

Still not seeing it?  Make sure the Text Editor – General page has the Selection Margin checkbox checked.

That's fantastic (I make use of it!). It seems like the green doesn't go away after saves, though- is that because I'm using team system for source control? It's nice if it keeps those lines green so I can see what's pending changes for check in.

Great blog, btw.
