Dialog Options

Version Label

Enter a short word to identify the revision. You can use any printable characters except colons (:), asterisks (*), or double quotation marks ("). Version labels are case-sensitive. For example, you can't enter the version label BeTA to check out revisions identified by the version label beta.

Revision Number

Use the drop-down list to select a revision number, or enter the number of the revision to assign a version label.

Floating Label

Check Floating Label to allow the label you are creating to be assigned to new (tip) revisions as they are checked in. If you do not check Floating Label, the label will remain with the selected revision.

Move If Already Assigned

Check Move If Already Assigned to allow an existing version label to be assigned to a different revision.

Adding or Moving Existing Version Labels

You can use the click and drag method to add an existing version label to a revision in another archive, or to move a version label to another revision in the same archive.
