| <H1>Setting local history preferences</H1> |
| |
| <p>To indicate the level of local history that should be kept for |
| each resource in the Workbench: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</li> |
| <li>Select the <b>Workbench</b> > <b>Local History</b> category in the left |
| pane. The Local History Preferences page opens.</li> |
| <li>In the <b>Days to keep files</b> field, type the number of days that you |
| want to keep records for any one Workbench resource. For example, if you type |
| 7, then a history of saved states from the last seven days will be kept.</li> |
| <li>In the <b>Entries per file</b> field, type the number of states to keep |
| for any one Workbench resource. Note that when you exceed the number of |
| entries per file, the oldest changes are discarded to make room for the newer |
| changes.</li> |
| <li>In the <b>Maximum file size (MB)</b> field, type the maximum file size (in |
| MB) of a resource for which a local history should be kept. If |
| the size of the resource exceeds the maximum amount of file size allocated, |
| no local history is kept for that resource.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> to set your preferences and close the Local History Preferences page.</li> |
| </ol> |
