Can't detect modified files or lines

[Israel Zygelboim]

When I edit a snippet of code in the IDE, I cannot then discern which lines or files have been changed, and consequently also what I am about to change in SALESFORCE when I save the changes.

Hi, Israel. Are you working against a version control system? If so, the IDE will clearly identify changed lines in the gutter area:

As for changes relative to the org, you can see those by using the Compare with Server action:

If you'd like to see a marker for which files are currently modified in the editor relative to the local filesystem, you can enable Mark modified:

I hope that provides what you need.
