Use the Show History command to display the Microsoft® Visual SourceSafe™ summary history of an object. Every time you check an object into Visual SourceSafe, the object is considered a new version.

The versions are listed starting with the most recent and going back to the creation of the object. Visual SourceSafe provides information about the version number, which can be used with other commands (such as Get Latest Version) to indicate a specific version.

You can compare one version of an object with another by selecting the two versions simultaneously (hold down the CTRL key, and click each version), then clicking Diff.

  • History

  • Details

  • Get
    Copies the selected object into your current working folder.
  • Diff
