Viewing the change history of a file
The change history of the file is an ordered list of change
sets. The History tool window of a file lists
all the change sets.
To view the change history of a file, you must have added
the file in the repository workspace and must have modified it.
To view the change history of a file, select the file whose
history you want to view. There are following ways to do it:
- In the Solution Explorer tool window, right-click
the file and click Show History.
- In the Pending Changes tool window, expand
the component and navigate to the file, then right-click the file
and select Show History.
- In the Change Explorer tool window, open
a change set, right-click a file in the change set and click Show
History.
The History tool window displays the
changes. You can move your mouse pointer over a change set to see
more information about it.
You can right-click a change set and choose an operation
to initiate on the change set. Supported operations include:
- Open in Change Explorer: Opens the change
set in the change explorer.
- Open File: Opens the file available in
the change-set.
- Load: Loads the files associated to the
change set in your workspace.
- Reverse: Reverses the changes made in the change set.
- Associate Work Item: Associates a work
item with the change set.
- Remove Work Item: Removes a work item associated
with the change set.
- Compare with Local: Compares the selected
file with its local version.
- Compare with Previous: Compares the selected
version of the file with its immediate predecessor.
Note: If you select multiple files in the History tool
window, some of the pop-up menu options will be disabled.
