Checking In Files

When you finish making changes to a file you have checked out, check in the file to copy your version into source code control so that it is available to other users. The VI is locked automatically as it is checked in to prevent you or others from accidentally modifying the file without checking it out again.

Complete the following steps to check a file into a source code control project.

  1. Open the VI you want to check in.
  2. Select Tools»Source Code Control»Check In.

When you check in a file, you are prompted to enter a summary of the changes you made. If you used the Revision History dialog box to record changes, the SCC Edit Change Comments dialog box initially contains the history text since you checked out the file. Place a checkmark in the Apply comments to all checkbox if you want the same comments to apply to all files you are checking in. If this box is unchecked, you are prompted to enter comments for each file you are checking in.

You can edit this text to add or delete information. When you change this text, you are not modifying the VI history.
