2021.2.3 --> Git Local Changes view in VCS is gone
已回答
At work I have two environments with two IntelliJ version.
1. 2021.1
2. 2021.2.3
In 2021.1 the VCS window for Git has (my favorite view) Local Changes which shows me exactly what I have altered and can easily navigate to as well as see what was changed in that file.
In 2021.2.3 which we just got installed on my other system I cannot find it to save my life.
All I see is Log and Console. The Log is a tree like map view of all branches and I have always hated that view. Clicking even on the branch in that view for what I am on does not even show me what is changes.
Where is the Local Changes view located? I really need the view.

What I did find is that if I right click on the log entry of either my branch or develop I can say Show Diff with Working Tree.
This opens up a popup window.
I really don't like that approach where in the past it was fixed on the bottom of the UI.
Can I get this fixed at the bottom?
Hello edjm
Please check left side of a screen - do you have "Commit" tab? If so, it means that you have "Use non-modal commit interface" enabled under Preferences | Version Control | Commit
If you disable it then Local changes will be back to Git toolwindow, otherwise they are located in Commit toolwindow.

Could you please share a screenshot of it? In the latest version it should open "Changes" toolwindow on a left side of an IDE
Ruslan Kuleshov Thank you very much for the tip: If so, it means that you have "Use non-modal commit interface" enabled under Preferences | Version Control | Commit
After making the change it put my view back to what I was expecting and am use to.
