What can you open in Zed?

Open the folder that holds your app on macOS, Windows or Linux. You can edit files without signing into Zed. If that folder is a Git project, the Git Panel shows which files changed and which branch you are on.

How do you tell what changed in more than one file?

Open Project Diff from the Git Panel. A diff shows lines that were added or removed. Check the list of changed files first, then read each relevant change. The excerpts in Project Diff are editable, so use navigation keys while reviewing if you only want to inspect them.

What might you pay for if you turn on coding help?

Edit Predictions suggest changes as you type. Zed’s own predictions are included on eligible plans and in the Pro trial. On Free, you can configure a supported alternative, including a local model. Zed-hosted chat models need an eligible plan. Free also supports external agents and your own model-provider key. Check the outside provider’s billing before using it.

Would you keep both edits in this change?

On paper, sketch a made-up signup form with a button label and a separate payment setting. Imagine the Git Panel shows edits to both files.

  1. Read the two differences
    Mark the new button text as expected. Set aside the payment change until you know why it happened.
  2. Check the next change
    Write the single file you expect to appear after the payment edit is removed. You can try the same review in a plain local practice project you own, with AI and sharing off.
