file revision history

Post by Salman » Fri Apr 09, 2004 5:37 am

Hi,

First off, great product!

Now to my question, how many versions of a file is kept in the Vault's history? ie. if I check-in a file 100 times, can I go back and view the history of my 49th check-in? Is this # configurable and if so, where?

TIA

all versions of a file are kept, until you obliterate the file.

to view any version of a file:
  • view the history of the file. this will bring up Vault's History Explorer.
  • highlight any particular version
  • you can "View" the file at that version, which lets you look at the file without specifying a working directory.
  • or you can "Get" the file at that version, which will overwrite your working folder copy with that version.
  • or you could also "diff" that version as well.
