Re: How do you manage code changes?

Use one of the version control systems mentioned in this thread.

Copying entire folders like you are doing works. Just be very careful if you are going to open a workspace in one of the saved folders. MPLAB stores the absolute pathnames to the source code so it is still using the source files in the original folder, not the new folder!
