Source Tree
Source Tree is a simple yet powerful file manager, it does not include too many features like another advanced file manager, therefore, it works faster and more efficient. Source Tree allows you to browse files and directories in your Joomla site, it also allows you to perform actions on files and folders like editing, downloading, uploading, renaming, deleting, compressing. One of the strongest features of Source Tree is the code search which allows you to search through all files and folders in your Joomla site, it is helpful when you develop or debug your online Joomla site when your advanced text editor or IDE is almost useless.
Log rotation & Log viewer
The log rotation feature allows you to rotate log files by deleting it or compress & store it when it reaches the thresholds that you set the number of days or the log file size. It is extremely helpful for the site which has a lot of activity in log files and you want to have better control over them. You can also view all of your log files via Sidekick UI easily without having to download it to view locally or using a FTP program.
