When you are ready to share your changes with other team
members, you must first move the changes in a change set into your
current workspace, and then use the Accept and Deliver operations
to move other team members’ changes into your workspace or move your
changes into other team members’ workspaces.
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.
This
scenario assumes that you use change sets to group changes to shared
design resources.
About this task
You can accept and deliver changes to and from workspaces
at any time during the lifecycle of a project.
Procedure
The workflow for delivering changes in a collaborative
development environment includes the following high-level steps:
- Navigate to the workspace that contains the change set
that contains the changes that you made to the shared design resources:
From the Current Configuration Context menu,
which is located near the upper-right corner of the toolbar, select Explore
Configurations.
- In the Configuration Explorer view,
click the Change Sets tab.
- Mark the change set as complete. By completing this step,
the change set is locked and you cannot make any more changes to the
resources in the change set, or add or remove resources to this change
set.
- Share the change set. By completing this step, the changes
in the change set are moved into your workspace.
- Deliver the changes in your workspace. By completing this
step, you specify which changes are delivered to the parent workspace
and, therefore, become available to other team members who can accept
those changes into their own workspaces.
