And File > Reload From Disk will actually turn it all green, not just lines that had been recently changed then saved. Since saving the file just turns the bar green, that is insufficient to get it back to a “blank slate”. How do I clear the history? I want to make it have no orange or green bars! If what you’re really trying to do is just clear the margin for the short term (get it back to a nice clean margin, with no orange or green, equivalent to how it was when you first loaded your file), all you have to do is clear the history, as described in the next section. But if you checkmark the setting again to turn it back on, you will have to restart Notepad++ to take effect… So it’s not a good idea to turn it off and back on frequently. You can uncheck the checkbox in the settings and have the change take effect immediately. It really is useful.īut if you insist on abandoning one of the most useful new features of Notepad++, there is a Display Change History checkbox in the Settings > Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge. Please give it a chance before you try to turn it off. Similar techniques have been found in other text editors for years, and it’s great that Notepad++ has finally implemented it. A light blue indicates that you have done enough undo actions to get back to the original state of the file from when you loaded that file from disk. A pale green (some call it “olive”) indicates that you have done enough undo to get back to a previous save state (as the author calls it, “revert to modified”). A green bar indicates that the change has been saved since it was last changed.
Changes will be indicated by the orange bar. The new Change History feature tracks the changes made since you last loaded the file: it tracks it with a colorful bar on the edge of the editor window.
You have likely been directed here because you have asked about the Change History feature, which is new to v8.4.6: you probably asked something like “how do I get rid of the new orange/red line?” or “when I print, I get a strange orange background”, or something similar.
