default branch The branch Source Integrity tries to check in files to. The default
branch is set with the Archive Information command. If unspecified,
files are checked in to the trunk.
default editor The editor used by the View Revision and View/Edit Working File
commands to display a working file or revision. It is also used to
view the log file. The default editor is defined with the Configuration
> Personal command (Directories panel).
deltas The differences (stored in an archive) between one revision and its
immediate ancestor. An archive contains one complete version of the
working file and all the deltas needed to reconstruct any revision.
demotion The process of changing a revision’s promotion state setting from a
higher to a lower level. When promotion is turned on, the range of
state settings that can be applied to revisions in an archive is defined
by the Configuration > Personal command (Promotion panel).
enforce An attribute that can be applied in SAM to protect file options from
being overridden by your personal configuration settings.

information in the project file. For example, you cannot perform
operations such as adding or deleting members, changing
configuration blocks, or setting variables on a frozen project. The
opposite of thaw.
