Creating change sets

A change set is a collection of related modifications to resources. You can create change sets to create convenient groupings of changes that can be optionally reviewed and approved by other team members, and then delivered to a workspace.

Before you begin

You should be familiar with project areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces, and change sets, which are described in Management of shared design resources.

You must be logged in to a Design Management project, and you must be in a workspace that is associated with this space.

About this task

When you change resources within the context of a change set, all the changes that you make are grouped into one logical unit, which facilitates the review process and makes it easy to share changes with other teams or team members that use different workspaces.

Procedure

  1. Click the Current Configuration Context menu in the upper right of the page and, under Manage Changesets, click Create New Changeset.
  2. In the Create a Changeset window, in the Changeset Comment field, specify a comment about the new change set; then click Create. In this comment, you might describe why the change set exists, the problem it addresses, or other information that helps you or other team members understand why these design resources have been updated. The comment is also used to help identify the change set. After the change set is created, the current configuration context changes to the new change set.

Results

The design resources that you change or create are now grouped in this change set. When you finish changing resources, you can optionally mark the change set as complete so that it can be reviewed, and then deliver your changes to the workspace that is associated with this change set.
