Looking at the history of a file

We will now take a look at the history of one of the project files in the Project Editor.

- In the Configuration Manager, choose Tools > Project Editor.

In the Project Editor

In the File List, highlight

BackOfficeApplication.java .
Select the History check box at the bottom of the tool.
A File History dialog appears:

In the Symbols view, the Version Tree of the selected file is displayed. Since only one version of the project files has been checked in so far, the Version Tree only displays this version (

INIT ).
INIT is used by SNiFF+ to refer to the initial version of a file in the Repository. The version number of the INIT version of a file is always 1.1 . The latest version on the main trunk or branch of a file's version tree is called HEAD . In this example, the HEAD and INIT versions of the file will naturally be the same.
A circle next to the file's version in the Version Tree indicates that the version is part of a configuration. The configuration name comes after the circle, followed by the version number.
Press the Close button to close the dialog.
In the Launch Pad

- Close

OfficeApp.shared by choosing Project > Close Project OfficeApp.shared.
