The Toolbar

The standard toolbar contains commands for all the basic tasks.

Create Folder

The Create Folder command allows you to create a new empty folder within the open repository.

Add Files

The Add Files command allows you to add new files or folders to the open repository by selecting files or folders accessible on the local machine.

Label

The Label command allows you to tag a version of a file, or a complete folder structure, for later retrieval.

Delete

The Delete command allows you to delete selected files or folders from the repository. If multiple files are selected, the Delete command will delete them all at the same time.

Please Note: The Delete command is non-destructive. The file or folder still exists in the history of the repository and can be recovered by clicking the Undelete command found in the Folder Properties.

Get Latest Version

The Get Latest Version command allows you to retrieve a copy of the file from the Vault Professional server and place it in your working folder. If there is no current working folder, the Set Working Folder menu dialog will open first since a working folder must exist before files are retrieved.

Check Out

The Check Out command allows you to check out the latest version of a file or folder. You can then modify the file or folder.

Check In

The Check In/Commit command allows you to commit changes made to local files back into the repository. Files may or may not be checked out prior to checking in, depending on which options are set. See Check In Options.

Undo Check Out

The Undo Check Out command allows you to undo the check out and not modify the contents of the file in the repository or change the version number.

Share

The Share command allows you to make files or folders appear in two distinct places in the repository. Shared files are linked, so that when one is modified, the linked file is updated as well.

Branch

The Branch command allows you to break a share (Share Branch)or to copy a file or folder to one or more locations allowing independent edits of the file following the branch (Copy Branch).

View

The View File command allows you to view the repository copy of a file without checking it out.

Edit

The Edit File command allows you to check out and edit a selected file in a single operation.

Diff

The Diff command allows you to compare working files and folders to the repository version or to the last version fetched from the server.

History

The History command allows you to open the History Explorer window to examine past versions to a file or folder.

Set Working Folder

The Set Working Folder menu command allows you to set a folder on the client machine to retrieve repository files.

Refresh

The Refresh command allows you to refresh the file list and folder tree by retrieving the latest information from the server. This command is merely used to update the display of status information – it does not modify the working folders in any way.

Abort

The Abort command allows you to cancel any current operation. After canceling the operation, the working directory and the repository will be in the same state they were before the initiating command was executed.

Help

The Help command allows you to view the Help files.
