Adding files using Drag/Drop from Explorer

If you are controlling files other than those created by the supported tools, adding them to Team Coherence, again, is a relatively easy task.

Version Manager supports the dropping of files dragged from Windows Explorer onto an existing project. In this case, you must have created a new project for the files, or be dragging files into an existing project.

To create a new project in Version Manager right-click in the left-hand pane and select New Project… or click on the New Project button in the toolbar.

Enter a name for the new project, and that's it.

Now, you can simply drag files and folders from Windows Explorer, and drop them on the new project. The Checkin dialog box will be displayed and selecting the Files page allows you to specify which files to actually add:

Once you press the OK button, the files will be added to Team Coherence in the same way as the method above. Team Coherence will automatically create the folder structure for the files based on the underlying disk folder structure, and add the files to the correct folders.
