| <H1>Viewing a file's revision history</H1> |
| |
| <P>Every time you commit a file to the CVS repository, a new revision is created. |
| Each revision is identified by a number (for example, 1.1 or 1.11.3.5). Along |
| with each revision is stored the author, the date, and a commit comment. |
| </P> |
| |
| <P>To view the resource history for a file: |
| </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select the file in one of the navigation views. From the context menu, choose <b>Team |
| > Show History</b>.</li> |
| <li>The History view will open and show a history for the selected CVS |
| file.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><em>Note:</em> The History view also shows you all version and branch |
| tags that are associated with the file. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><em>Tip:</em> You can show different types of revisions (your options are: Local and Remote |
| revisions, only Remote revisions or only Local revisions) by using the History |
| view's mode toggle buttons. These toggle buttons are located on the History view toolbar. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><em>Tip:</em> You can drag and drop a file from one of the navigation views into the History |
| view instead of choosing the menu item. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><em>Tip</em>: You can have the History view update automatically |
| to the history of the file in the active editor by enabling the <strong>Link |
| with Editor</strong> item in the view's toolbar.</p> |
