Scenario 3 - Checking in files

Alan has had to check out several more files to make the changes he needed. He is now ready to check in his changes. Before doing so, he builds his project to make sure that it compiles correctly and he hasn't introduced any new bugs. He is satisfied that the code he is checking in is OK.

Alan has forgotten which files he has checked out so he decides to check everything in via Version Manager. He starts up Version Manager and selects the Locked Files view. Team Coherence locates all the checked out files and displays them in a list, grouped by user. He selects Alan and displays the files he has locked.

Before checking in the files, he decides to review his changes. He selects each file in turn to display the files locked revision, and right-clicks on the revision. He selects Difference/<filename> from the displayed popup menu to view the difference report for each file.

He is now happy with his changes and selects the project in the left hand pane. He selects Action / Checkin... from the main menu, enters some comments in the Check in dialog box, and presses the OK button to check the files in. Team Coherence checks the locked files in and presents the status dialog to show any errors that might have occurred. Everything checked in without a problem so he presses the OK button.
