Checking out a non-tip revision

It is common to want to check out a revision of a file other than the tip revision, for example to fix a bug in a previous release of a project. This is made easier if the revision of the files you want to check out have been marked with a Version Label, but it is not necessary to have done so. However, to check out the same revision of multiple files would not normally make sense.

To check out a non tip revision, select the objects in Version Manager and select Action/Check out from the main menu. This displays the Check Out dialog box:

Enter the revision of the file you want to check out, or select a Version Label from the drop-down box. When you press the OK button, that particular Revision or Version of the file will be checked out.
