To review the changes for a particular revision, use the History menu.
The history of the app is a list of all revisions that have been committed. To view the history of the app, click the History button in the Changes pane, or choose the Version Control > History menu item.

For Git-based applications, revisions are sorted according to the commit history, which sometimes does not reflect the chronological order due to Git's decentralized nature and local commits. The History dialog box shows the revision number, date, time, author, and message of each revision.

The Name and Email settings can be adjusted by the user and are not used for authenticating with the version control server. If you notice a suspicious value in the commit history, it is likely a private email address set through another tool in the global Git configuration, but the user has been authenticated as usual.

Select a revision to see additional details, such as related stories, changed documents, Studio Pro version, and changes on disk. Icons summarize the kinds of changes that happened in the app.
