Can't find Version Control tab with diff panel
In previous versions of PHPStorm, I had a Version Control tab that not only showed a list of modified files in the repo (all git) under a list named Default Changelist, and then clicking on one of the files showed a diff of changes in the file in a side panel... similar to this:
Now, I found something like this in the Commit tab (Version Control seems to have changed its name to that at some point, for some reason I'm not clear on), but there's no Diff panel, and opening the diff in any way just opens a new window... which is really inconvenient. I used to just be able to easily peruse all of my changes quickly with an attached Diff panel. I'm not seeing how to make this happen again.
What do I do? Nothing I click restores what it was before, and I'm on the latest upgrade.

I stashed the changes, opened a new branch, then unstashed the changes for that, then clicked the Git tab again, and suddenly the "Local Changes" tab is there, which a changed file list, and clicking each file shows its working copy diff in tabs in the same panel, without requiring them to be opened in a new "window"...
I'm completely confused. I don't know what determines the difference.
Any advice?
Hello Vadiru
If you want to restore the old view then you need to disable "use non-modal commit interface" under Preferences | Version Control | Commit
