Here are the settings I use in LabVIEW Options>>Revision History:
It forces me (or at least reminds me) to document changes I make to my code.
The drawback is that each time a VI is closed while not yet saved, the Revision History window of that VI opens up (after the usual Save/Defer Decision/Cancel dialog), even when I do not want to write anything in it.
No big deal, I just Escape and voila.
That is fine when I am closing shop for the day or wrapping up a new feature.
That is ANNOYING when I clean up my screen by closing all subVIs AFTER I run my code, not because I have to close those windows, but because I cannot enter anything in the Revision History box anyway!
(Notice how the box background is colored as an indicator in the snapshot above?)
So why open the Revision History window in the first place?
Suggestion: Skip the Revision History window when closing a running VI.
