- Select Current Files Area row to show working tree diffs
- Display document diff tree with status indicators (modified, added, deleted)
- Display summary counts: Modified, Deleted, Added
- Display “No changes” state when working tree is clean
- Expand/collapse document nodes in diff tree
- Diff row colors, hover, and selection remain visible with OpenTheme enabled

- Select Reviewed Area row to show staged diffs
- Display staged document diff tree
- Right-click Reviewed Area: remove all from Reviewed
- Stage single document: plus icon button per document row with tooltip
- Stage all documents: plus icon button in summary bar with tooltip
- Remove single document from Reviewed: minus icon button per document row with removal tooltip; unstage document and snapshot without changing current files
- Remove all from Reviewed: minus icon button in summary bar with removal tooltip; unstage documents and snapshots without changing current files
- Stage button disabled for non-stageable documents
- Stage deleted documents
- Select node in document diff tree to show property-level differences
- Property diff display with old/new value columns
- Changed property colors remain visible while unchanged rows retain theme styling
- Highlighted property values remain selectable and copyable
- Property diff clears when document diff clears or node changes
- Float precision from settings applied to numeric property display
- Spreadsheet cells show raw input through expression display and aliases through Alias sub-paths; replacing a literal with a formula that evaluates to the same value appears as a change
- Redundant spreadsheet literal expression rows stay hidden, including leading text apostrophes; formulas and source-input changes remain visible

- Open 3D comparison for node from Reviewed Area view
- Open 3D comparison for node from commit view
- Visual diff button per node row in diff tree
- Current files area: discard single file and discard all works
- Restore single document from commit: confirmation dialog with destructive warning
- Restore all from commit: restore icon button opens scope selection dialog (listed FreeCAD files vs all FreeCAD files)

- Restore success info message
- Restore failure error display
- Save iteration: enter iteration notes dialog
- Save iteration: empty notes validation warning
- Save iteration: no reviewed files info message
- Save iteration: missing git identity auto-prompts configure author dialog
- Save iteration: commit success refreshes history list
- Save iteration: commit failure error display
- Save iteration: cancel dialog aborts flow
- Right-click a document row in Current Files, Reviewed, or an iteration diff tree: Open current document opens the current file and switches from History to its document view, whether already open or closed
- Failed opening from the closed-document indicator shows an error dialog without refreshing the diff or refocusing History
- Open document for comparison: Open button on closed working-tree file indicator opens the file, refreshes the diff, and keeps History visible
- Open all documents in repository
- Open all documents in repository: no project warning
- Recompute active document
- Recompute all open documents
- Close all comparison windows (Diff_* documents without saving)
- Open History Panel from toolbar or command
- Panel 3-column layout: history, document diff, property diff
- Panel splitter resize between columns
- Panel close and reopen preserves application state (current git repository detection)
- With a TechDraw page tab open, open History from both the 3D tab and the page tab; only History occupies the active MDI page
- Close and reopen History with the TechDraw page tab still open; History fills the active MDI page without exposing other subwindows
- Panel focus after async FreeCAD actions (open document)
- History activation preserves the active CAD document; Recompute Active Document still targets it
- Enable Edit > Preferences > Display > UI > Overlay > Automatically hide in non-3D view; activating History auto-hides overlay panels and hovering over their edge hints does not reveal them
- Clicking an overlay edge hint explicitly reveals its panel while History is active
- Switching from History back to a 3D view restores the configured overlay behavior without changing dock preferences
- Disable Automatically hide in non-3D view; History respects FreeCAD’s configured behavior without changing the preference
- Detach and redock History through FreeCAD’s view controls; panel state remains available and Open History Panel focuses the same view
- Float precision: set decimal places for numeric comparison (range 0-12)
- Excluded object types: use default exclusion list
- Excluded object types: use custom exclusion list with prefill from defaults on first use
- Excluded properties: use default exclusion list
- Excluded properties: use custom exclusion list with prefill from defaults on first use
- Type-specific excluded properties: use default exclusion list
- Type-specific excluded properties: use custom exclusion list with prefill from defaults on first use
- Git executable: leave empty so git runs from the system PATH
- Git executable: enter a path manually (e.g. portable git) and save; commit history loads through the configured binary
- Git executable: Browse button opens a file dialog that fills the path field
- Git executable: clear the field and save to return to PATH lookup
- Git executable: popup “Git Not Found” when git is neither configured nor on PATH, or the configured path is not a readable executable (refresh project, initialize project, save iteration)
- Git executable: no popup when detection simply finds no repository but git works
- Settings save and load persistence
- Settings info text: changes affect comparison only, not saved snapshots
