Edit

A file may be checked out and edited in a single operation using the Edit command.

To Edit a file, select a file from the File List. Then, click the Edit button or choose the Edit File command from either the File menu or by right clicking. Files locked by other users may not be edited unless multiple check out is enabled in the SourceSafe database. The Edit command will check out the file, if needed, and then open the file in an editor application.

The file editor may be configured in the Application for Viewing and Editing Files option under Tools > Options > External Programs. In Windows, Notepad is the default. If this box is left blank, SOS Collab will open the files with their associated Windows application.
