Displaying File and Project Information

  • Artículo

You can display information about individual files and about the project as a whole. For example, you can display the checkout history for an individual file or for the project list file. Information typically available includes:

  • The version number, which indicates how many times a new version of the file or project list has been checked in.
  • Who checked in the file or project file each time.
  • The date and time it was checked in.
  • What comments the developer added when checking in the file or project list.

To view checkout history for a file or the project list

  1. If you're viewing the history of a single file, in the Project Manager, select the file for which you want to see the history.

  2. For an individual file, from the Project menu, choose Source Control, then choose Show History. For the project list, from the Project menu, choose Source Control, and then choose Show Project List History.

    The specific options available from this menu command depend on your source control system. For details, choose Help in the dialog box that's displayed or refer to the documentation for your source control system.

You can also view the information about an individual or about the project that's being maintained by the source control system. This usually includes information such as the checkout status of the file or project list, whether the file is a text or binary file (which determines if you can merge your changes with the centrally-stored file), and so on.
