About collaboration and source control
Get a specific version of a project
Get a specific version of a project in order to roll back changes that you have made to the project files.
To perform this task, you must be connected to your collaboration server.
To get a specific version of a project:
1. Close all open worksheets.
2. Right-click the project root (e.g., Project: projectname.APP) in the Project Explorer, and then click Get Specific
Version on the shortcut menu.
The Get page is displayed.
3. In the list of project files, select the files for which you want to get a specific version.
4. In the Version area, do one of the following:
• In the Type list, select Changeset to get a specific changeset, and then in the Changeset box, type the
number of the changeset. (Detailed information about the changesets is available in Team Explorer.)
• In the Type list, select Latest Version to get the latest version. This is the same as using the Get Latest Version
command.
• In the Type list, select Label to get a "snapshot" version that was previously created, and then in the Label
list, select the name of the version.
5. Click Get.
The specified version of the project is downloaded from source control and saved on your computer.
Apply a label to a project
Apply a label to a project in source control in order to create a "snapshot" of the project that can be retrieved
later.
To perform this task, you must be connected to your collaboration server.
Labels are used for version control within a project. When you attempt to get a specific version of a project,
any labels that you have applied will be included in the list of available versions.
Applying a label to a project offers many of the same benefits as branching the project, but without having to
create an entirely separate copy of the project.
To apply a label to a project:
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 Apply Label on
the shortcut menu.
The Apply Label page is displayed.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the label.
This is what will appear in the list of available versions.
4. In the Comment box, type a description of the "snapshot".
This is optional.
5. Click Create.
The "snapshot" is created in source control. To retrieve it later, get a specific version.
