Creating Anti Package Using Sitecore Rocks

After uploading package using Sitecore rocks you will got an options to create anti-package.

So let me tell you why it's safe to create anti-package while installing package each time.

"Anti-package means it will take backup of the Items/Files which is going to overwritten after installing package"

Let me explain more, Suppose a scenario where you are working on client project and if you are going to install sitecore package directly without creating anti package. So once package will be installed you can not get back the previous changes because it's overwritten after installing package.
That's why every time sitecore rocks ask to create anti package before installing and after uploading package.


Now it's time to create anti-package:

So just chill it's a process of only one click that's it.

After uploading Sitecore package you will get this window, you need to just click on the Create Anti Package 



and congrats your anti package has been created, really it's pretty fast and easy.




Enjoy buddy.
Now go back to the url to upload/install package
