In a collaborative development environment, other team
members change resources in the same project that you are working
on. To import into your workspace the changes that they made, use
the Accept incoming changes operation.
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.
Procedure
- Open the workspace to accept the changes into: Click the
Current Configuration Context menu, which is near the upper-right
corner of the page, and complete one of the following steps:
- Open the current configuration.
- Select Explore Configuration to
open the Configuration Explorer view, and then
browse to a specific workspace.
- In the workspace editor, on the toolbar near the upper-right
corner of the page, click the Accept Incoming Changes icon.
- On the Accepting Incoming Changes page,
view the highlighted changes in each pane. The Current pane
in the lower-right section of the page displays each change that you
can accept or reject.
- To accept a change, on the toolbar of the Current pane,
click the Apply the change to the merged result icon.
- Optional: To accept all the changes simultaneously,
on the toolbar of the Result pane, which is
near the upper-right corner of the page, click the Accept
all resolvable differences icon.
- After you accept the changes, commit your changes to the
workspace: On the toolbar of the Result pane,
click the Commit merged result icon. If
you do not accept an incoming change, your workspace contains a version
of a resource that differs from the resource in the parent workspace.
You might need to verify that this change is not necessary for your
workspace.
- Optional: To discard the changes that you accepted
while you were working on the Accept Incoming Changes page, on the
toolbar of the Result pane, click the Discard
merged result and close session icon. All
updates to the current workspace are discarded, and the Configuration
Editor is displayed.
- On the toolbar of the Configuration Editor, which is near
the upper-right corner of the page, click Save.
Results
Your workspace now contains the changes that you accepted
from other team members.
