About collaboration and source control
Add a project to source control
Add a project to source control in order to begin workgroup collaboration and version tracking for that project.
To perform this task, you must be connected to your collaboration server.
After you add a project, there are two changes to how the individual project files are handled. First, when
you insert a new screen or task worksheet into your project, the worksheet file is automatically added to
source control. Second, when you open a screen or task worksheet for editing, the worksheet is automatically
checked out of source control.
You can add a new project to source control when you actually create the project, assuming you are
connected to the collaboration server at that moment. For more information, see Creating a new project on
page 81.
Otherwise, to add a project to source control:
1. Save and close all open worksheets.
2. Right-click the project root (e.g., Project: projectname.APP) in the Project Explorer, and then click Add Project to
Collaboration Server on the shortcut menu.
Files added to source control are marked with a green "add" badge.

Added files are considered to be checked out for editing, and they still need to be checked in to make any
changes permanent.
Also, remember that if you added your entire project to source control, then each time you insert a new screen
or task worksheet, it will be automatically added to source control with the rest of your project
