How to enable sidebar changelog in WebStorm?


Today I added Material Theme plugin to WebStorm and I believe this is the reason behind changelist not appearing on the sidebar. To be precise, this is what happens in IntelliJ when I make change to a specific line of code and click on the yellow bar that appeared after I removed the semicolon:

The change I made can also be seen under VCS -> Local History -> Show History menu option, which shows the diff between the previous and current version of that file.

However, performing the same action in WebStorm doesn't show the changelist/diff on the sidebar:

missing changelist in Webstorm

which means that the only way I can see it is by going to VCS -> Local History -> Show History which is very tedious:

diff under Show History

I found being able to quickly revert/lookup the changes on the fly by clicking on that coloured bar really handy, could someone tell me if there is a setting in the IDE that enables that? I looked up and down but couldn't find anything relevant, perhaps I wasn't looking for the right keyword.

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Change markers are there for me when using Material UI plugin. Do you have Highlight modified lines in gutter enabled in Settings | Editor | General?
