Now that you've created a depot and populated it with files, you're ready to begin making changes to those files. There's no need to “check out” files; simply edit them. To edit a file, double-click it. Alternatively, right-click it and select
Edit from the context menu.
If you wish to keep some work that you have done, select the elements you want to keep, right-click on the selection and choose
Keep. You are prompted for a comment, which is optional. This creates a new version in the depot, in your workspace’s stream. These versions are now visible to other AccuRev users. You can keep a file as often as you like.
When your changes are ready for other people to see, promote the file. To promote elements, select them, right-click on them, and select
Promote. Promote places your most recently kept version of the file in the backing stream, making it available for others to use. The next time they update their workspace, they will get a local copy of your promoted file.
