Another user making changes

Now that Fred has the project in his Workbench he needs to modify several of the files and synchronize with the repository in order to commit them.

• Fred will make changes to file1.txt and file2.txt
• Fred will synchronize and commit his outgoing changes to the two files.

Fred should proceed as follows:

1. Modify file1.txt as follows
   Original contents:

   This is the contents
   of file 1.
       

   New contents (changes shown in bold):

   This is the contents
   Fred-update
   of file 1.
       

2. Modify file2.txt as follows
   Original contents:

   File2 is a small file
   with simple text.
       

   New contents (changes shown in bold):

   File2 is a (Fred was here) small file
   with simple text.
       

3. Observe that the Project Explorer updates the CVS state of a resource. Notice that the two files which Fred has changed are preceded by ">".
4. To commit his changes to the repository Fred can either:
   • Select the two files and choose Team > Synchronize with Repository or,
   • Select the project and choose Team > Synchronize with Repository

   Often choosing the project is the easiest thing to do. Let's do that. Select the project and choose Team > Synchronize with Repository from its context menu. When you are asked to switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective select Yes.

5. When the Synchronize View opens Fred can browse the changes he made and at the end should commit his changes to file1.txt and file2.txt by selecting JanesTeamProject in the Synchronize View and from the context menu select Commit. You will have to enter a commit comment before committing the changes.
