Tools
This menu provides access to HCL VersionVault functions and Version Tree Browser display options. Commands are active depending on the type of element that you select.
- Command
- Description
- Check Out
- Allows you to change an element that is under source control. For a file
element, this means that you can edit the file. For a directory element, this
means that you can create or delete an element or a symbolic link in the directory.
This choice is unavailable when either of these conditions is true:
- The item you have selected is already checked out.
- A version of this element is checked out in the currently set view.
- Check In
- Adds a new version to a file or folder element that you previously checked out. This choice is available only when the item you have selected is checked out (see t_ci_ver.html).
- Compares the contents of a selected version with that of another version. Click at least one version or branch to make the command available (see t_cmpr_vers.html).
- Compares the contents of a version against that of its immediate predecessor. Click at least one version or branch to make the command available (see t_cmpr_prdcssr.html).
- Merge To
- Places the browser in a merge mode in which you can insert the contents of one file into another. Click a version to make the command available. See t_mrg_ver.html.
- Properties
- Displays a HCL VersionVault property sheet, which provides information about the item you selected. Depending on the object, the property sheet may have pages that describe features such as metadata, locks, or user preferences. See t_view_ccprops.html.
- History
- Starts the History Browser, which shows the event records for the version you selected. Each event record contains information about an operation (such as check in) that changed the element in its VOB. Select a version to use this command. See t_view_cchist.html.
- Apply Label
- Opens a window to apply a label to the selected version. (You cannot apply a label to a branch marker.) See t_apply_lbl.html.
- Delete
- Removes the selected version or branch.
- Locate
- Opens a window to search through the version tree for a specific version or branch (see c_about_lctng_verbr.html).
- Options
- Opens a window to change the font, color, and default spacing of items such as version markers or labels in the version tree, or specify which metadata is shown in the display (see c_about_chngdsply.html).
