Team Synchronizing Perspective

The Team Synchronizing perspective is used to synchronize resources in the local Workspace with their counterparts shared in a repository.

Common uses include synchronizing resource versions, viewing history, and comparing resource content.

This perspective contains these views:

  • Synchronize
  • Tasks

Synchronize View

The Synchronize view allows for comparing local Workspace and remote repository versions of resources, and provides functionality to address differences and conflicts.

Icons

Subversion-specific icons indicate the synchronization state of each resource. They are listed here:

 
Incoming addition

The resource was added to the repository, so it's new compared to the local copy. It will be added to the local workbench after an Update.

Incoming change

 

The resource was changed in the repository, so it’s different compared to the local copy. The change(s) will be added to the local workbench after an Update.
Incoming deletion

The resource was deleted from the repository, but it still exists in the local workbench. It will be deleted from the local workbench after an Update.
Outgoing addition The resource was added to the local workbench, so it's new compared to the repository. It will be added to the repository after a Commit.

Outgoing change

 

 The resource was changed in the local workbench, so it’s different compared to the repository. The change(s) will be added to the repository after a Commit.
Outgoing deletion The resource was deleted from the local workbench, but it still exists in the repository. It will be deleted from the repository after a Commit.
Conflict addition Two different resources with the same name were added to the repository and the local workbench.

Conflict change

 

 Changes made to both the local workbench and repository versions of the resource cannot be merged automatically. Note that the parents of the decorated resource are also decorated. A manual Merge is required to resolve this conflict.
Conflict deletion Both the local workbench and repository versions of the resource were deleted. No action is required.
Properties change The properties of either the local workbench or repository version of the resource were changed. No action is required.

Tasks may be assigned within a Project by right-clicking in the Tasks View and then selecting Add Task. For example, to record reminders to follow up on something later, add it to the Tasks view. A task may be associated with a resource; this allows for using the Tasks view to quickly open that resource for editing.
