Pending Changes view
The Pending Changes view enables you to preview and accept all changes to your view, to resolve conflicts, and to synchronize changes in both the Base VersionVault and UCM environments.
You can use the Pending Changes view to:
- View and accept incoming changes
- View and integrate outgoing changes
- View and resolve conflicts
- Synchronize changes
To access the Pending Changes view, right-click a view in the VersionVault Navigator and select Show Pending Changes from the context menu.
The first time you select this option from a specific view, the Pending Changes Configuration dialog box prompts you for view-specific configuration information. After you have supplied this information, the VersionVault Pending Changes view shows any activities containing changes for the view, depending on the configuration information you provided. The activity is followed by the location of the resource, and then by the resource that has changed, as in the following illustration:
Note that, in this case, the file named about.html has changed in the user_vob\src\variables\expressions directory as part of the rel2_dev1_7_22_07 activity and that the change is incoming. The green change decoration on top of the activity icon signifies that the change does not cause a conflict. A change that causes a conflict is indicated by a red change decoration on the activity icon.
