| <h3> Replacing</h3> |
| <p class="Head">Suppose after further reflection, it becomes apparent |
| that the revision of file1.txt that was just received is incorrect and |
| an earlier revision is required. A Workbench resource can be replaced |
| with an earlier revision of the resource from the repository. To roll |
| back to an earlier revision:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Head"> In one of the navigation views select the file1.txt.<br> |
| <br> |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para"> From the file's context menu, select <b>Replace With > |
| Revision.<br> |
| <br> |
| </b></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para"> In the replace with revision Compare editor that opens, choose |
| the original (bottom) revision and, from the pop-up menu choose <b>Get Contents</b>.<br> |
| <br> |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Observe that the navigation view updates to show the CVS state of a resource. |
| Notice that the modified file is preceded by ">" (see #1) indicating |
| that file1.txt has changed (by replacing it with the earlier version). <br> |
| <br> |
| </p> |
| <p><img src="../images/Image84_replace2.png" alt="File selection"> <br> |
| <br> |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Now assume that this older revision is not as good as it initially seemed |
| and in fact the revision in the repository is better after all. |
| <p>Instead of choosing <b>Team > Synchronize with Repository</b>, choose |
| <b>Replace With > Latest from Repository.</b></p> |
| <p>Observe that file1.txt is updated to be the contents from the repository, |
| and that the leading indicator ">" has been removed since it is now the |
| same revision as the repository. </p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Now that how to synchronize with the repository, replace with a revision or |
| replace with the latest from the repository has been explained, these revisions/versions |
| can also be compared with in a similar manner by choosing the <b>Compare With</b> |
| menu operation from a resource's context menu in the navigation view. </p> |
