ShowLastEdit

Note: This command is only supported when using MVC (MULTI Version Control).

Finds the version of the current file that changed the selected text. This command opens a window on the version that changed the text, placing the cursor at the beginning of the change. Enabled only if the current file is under version control (such as MVC) that supports this feature. Equivalent to the menu item if you choose Version > Show Last Edit.

The current file must also be checked in. Otherwise, the results of this operation are undefined.

When you run this command, three windows are opened very much like a Diff (Tools > Diff Files... > Diff). The editor window on the left shows the last version which had different text in the selected lines. The editor window on the right shows the next version. Looking at the two versions will show you how the text changed between the two versions.

The third window is the Show Last Edit controller. It consists of a button bar with three buttons and a text section underneath.

Here's a description of the buttons:

All three windows will also be closed if you close either of the two editor windows.

The text section below the button bar shows information regarding the change between the two versions. This information is laid out as follows:
Version number )
User
Date and Time
Comments

Where the first line contains the version number, user, and date for the right hand file (the one where the change was checked in). The remaining lines show the comments (potentially several lines) and is displayed in the currently configured comment color.
