Updating working environments

When a team member checks out a file, the checked-out version is locked in the Repository, and a local copy is made in the team member's PWE. When a team member is satisfied with changes he/she has made to a checked-out file (compilable!), he/she checks it back in. This means that the new (checked-in) version replaces the older (checked-out) version in the Repository. However the other PWE's have the older version of the file and thus the working environments are no longer consistent with each other and need to be synchronized. Updates should be done on a regular (daily) basis, especially if you have a large development team. To update working environments:

- In the Project Tree of the Project Editor, choose
Context menu > Select from All Projects.
- In the Project Editor, choose
Project > Synchronize Checkmarked Projects...
