Checking in files
To check in files (submit a changelist):
-
Open the Submit dialog by doing one of the following:
- Right-click the icon of a file that is checked out, marked for add, or marked for delete, and choose Submit… to open the Submit Files dialog.
- Go to View > Pending changelists or, in the status bar, click 1 Pending Change or <number of changes> Pending Changes to open the Pending dialog. Then right-click a changelist and choose Submit… to open the Submit Files dialog.
Note that the Submit Changelist and Submit Files dialogs are functionally identical; they differ only in how you access them.
-
In the Submit Changelist or Submit Files dialog, enter a description or edit the existing description, and select the files you want to check in.
You can also perform the following actions:
- Remove files from the changelist.
- Revert unchanged files in the changelist (removing the unchanged files from the changelist, canceling the check-out, and leaving them synced to the version you originally checked out) or submit only changed files (moving the unchanged files to the default changelist after the current changelist is submitted).
- Check out submitted files after you submit them.
- Associate the changelist with a job and set the job status upon submit. For more information about jobs, see Using jobs (defect tracking).
- Perform a diff on a file pending submission by right-clicking the file and selecting Diff Against Have Revision. For more information, see Comparing files using diff.
- Optional) Click Save to save your changelist options without checking in files.
- Click Submit to check in your files.
