Managing changes to resources

Typically, you group changes to resources into collections called change sets. A change set is a collection of related modifications to shared resources that are applied to a user’s workspace, and later delivered to another workspace to make the changes visible to other team members. Using change sets makes it easier for team members to review your changes by ensuring that the correct versions of the resources are reviewed, and that the correct versions are available to other team members.

Before you begin

  • You should be familiar with project areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces, and change sets, which are described in Management of shared resources.
  • You must be logged in to a project, and you must be in a workspace that is associated with the current configuration space.
  • This content applies to version 4.0.3 or later.
    • To do actions on change sets, in the Configuration Management application, you must have permission to update which resources are part of a configuration.
    • To modify, complete, share, or discard other team members' change sets, in the Configuration Management application, you must have these corresponding change set privileges. See the related task topic about administering change sets.
