Committing

We will now use the Outgoing Mode of the Synchronize view to commit the one remaining outgoing change. 

  1. Place the Synchronize view into outgoing mode by clicking on the Outgoing Mode button (#1) and confirming that the title of the view now indicates we are in Outgoing Mode (#2).

  2. Open file3.txt (the outgoing change) by double-clicking. 
  3. The comparison viewer shows that our copy of file3.txt has a change to the second line.  The repository copy is shown in the right pane.

  4. From the context menu of file3.txt choose Commit. Be sure to enter a meaningful description when prompted for one. 

    Your Workbench copy is now committed into the repository.

  5. At this point Fred may want to synchronize with the repository to update his workspace with the changes you just committed.

We have successfully collaborated with Fred by making simultaneous changes to the same project. The Synchronize view and CVS Resource History view allowed us to determine the specific changes each user was making and to quickly stay on top of the ongoing changes being committed into the repository.
