UPDATE: Easier to locate templates that need comparing

  • Overview

    Using the editable Compare tool.

    This tool was added to allow the admin user who has cloned a skin a method to reference changes in previous versions of the files that may have been edited via the template editor.

    It allows you to compare two versions of the same named file across skins and versions to see what has changed in other versions and apply those changes to your current version.

  • UPDATE: Easier to locate templates that need comparing

    Since the video above was created there has been a new feature added. Now when you clone a skin and you want to know what has changed between it and the skin it was cloned from, the COMPARE button will be highlighted if there are new changes.

    This will help you understand which templates of your clone are different to the master skin and you can compare from there.

Currently, the name we give a cloned skin will always be highlighted in the compare tool, when we compare the cloned skin with updates to the original skin. The line of code in which the skin name appears may or may not contain changes other than the skin name, so updating may or may not be required.
