Editing a File

Once you create a workspace, you need to update it regularly using the Bringover transaction.

To update your workspace:

1. From the Configuring Window, choose Actions Bringover Update.

2. From the Bringover Update Tab, confirm that the parent and child workspace directories are correct.

3. Select the directories and files to update, either by accepting the default ``.'' to bring over all files, or by clicking the Add button to get access to a dialog box where you can add or delete specific files.

4. After you have selected your files, select the Preview check box.

5. Click Bringover to determine if your Update transaction will produce a conflict.

When a file in the parent workspace and a file in your workspace have both been changed, this creates a conflict. You must merge these files together to resolve the conflict. A dialog box is displayed, asking if you want to resolve conflicts. Clicking Yes displays the Merging window, where you can resolve file conflicts. See Resolving Differences Between Files Using Merging.

6. If you are satisfied with the preview, deselect the Preview checkbox, and click Bringover.

The files in your workspace are updated, and you see a scrolling progress report in the pop-up window as the update occurs.
