DW 18 History Panel

Hi Folks - I've been upgraded to version 18.2, and was previously familiar with CS 5 and 6. Somewhere along the way, the ability to use the history panel to create macro-like functions has disappeared. I've searched high and low (including RTFM) and nothing I've found has helped. Alternatively, using save in search&replace could work for me, but despite doing the registry change to insert a new string to open hidden options, that isn't working either.

Can anyone help?

Thanks for your time,

Larry

The History panel and functions have been dropped for several versions now.

I believe CS6 Cloud still has them though.

Since you're a subscriber, you can have multiple versions installed on the same machines at the same time. They won't run concurrently, but you'd be able to use the old feature in the old program when you need it, close and open the newer program to use newer features.

To install older versions, open the CC Desktop App, click the Apps tab, then the little triangle next to DW's icon. Choose Other Versions and install the one(s) you want.

What Jon said. When you need features that no longer exist in CC, revert to CS6. Currently, I have 4 versions of Dreamweaver on my system. I use the version that best fits the project I'm working on at the time.

Looks like the OP doesn't have a standard subscription. Maybe an enterprise version of the software?

Definitely possible it is an enterprise version - we aren't using a trial version, we have site licenses. Wonder if it's possible to download a different version of CC app ...

Thanks Paul - unfortunately, the prior versions were with a different company on a different laptop. Guess I'm SOL on this one.

Paul? Who's Paul?

Are you replying to the right thread?

As part of your subscription to Creative Cloud (the only way you can have CC2018), you get access to every version of DW since the Creative Cloud delivery system came out, which includes CS6 Cloud, CC, CC2014, CC2015, CC2017 and CC2018. All 6 can be installed on the same machines at the same time under a single subscription using the method I describe above.

Sorry Jon, got too much going on! (Paul is a developer helping me with some JScript stuff).

I believe you, that it should be possible to obtain via the method you describe. Unfortunately, my Creative Cloud application displays only "Uninstall" or "View Tutorials". There is no place in the application that displays any older versions.
