You can add method and process elements to CVS so that you can
control changes to each element as its content is written and its relationships
are defined.
These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products,
guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
- Make sure that you are in the Authoring perspective.

- Use the tree browser to choose the location for the new element.
- Right-click the parent element and select New.
Choose the appropriate element type.
- In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS window, click Yes to
lock plugin.xmi for further editing. If the file is
currently being edited by another user, a window opens with the option to
continue or not. Click No so that you do not need to
merge the files later. Exit the operation
- Enter content for the new element in the editor window. While
an element is being edited, an asterisk (*) is next to the element's name
at the top of the editor window. This indicates that the version cached in
memory is out-of-synch with the local file system.
- Click File > Save . The
copy in the local file system is updated and the asterisk (*) is cleared.
- Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective.

- Make sure that the element created in Step 5 is listed with plugin.xmi and
any other dependent files.
