| <h2>Refresh</h2> |
| <p>Since: 3.2 RC2<br> |

| |
| <p><b>Purpose:</b> Test the two types of refresh behavior available |
| in the history view</p> |
| |
| <h3>Automatic Refresh</h3> |
| |
| <p>When a local file is modified and saved, a refresh event is sent |
| out and the history view should show the newest revision. This will work |
| for both local history and CVS history files. (CVS files need to have |
| the history view in the appropriate viewing mode: either "Remote and |
| Local Revisions" or "Local Revisions".)</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>With a file history in the History View, and the viewer in an |
| appropriate mode if a CVS file, open an editor on the workspace copy of |
| the file in the history view.</li> |
| <li>Edit the file and save.</li> |
| <li>Verify that a new local revision gets added to the history |
| view which reflects your change.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <h3>Manual Refresh</h3> |
| |
| <p>There is also a Refresh button on the toolbar. This is mainly |
| useful for CVS file histories if you want to check if any revisions have |
| been committed. Note that its not really of any use for local revisions |
| as they are updated automatically.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>With a CVS file history in the History View, make a change to |
| the file and save. (You should see the local version updated in the |
| history view.)</li> |
| <li>Commit the file.</li> |
| <li>Hit the Refresh toolbar button and verify that the new |
| revision gets displayed in the history view,</li> |
| </ol> |
