2.
Select the integration stream.
3.
Right-click and select Change Stream from the context menu.
4.
Select a Basis Time of Now, then click Ok.
5.
Double-click the workspace below the base stream to open it.
6.
Modify a file in the workspace (right-click and select Edit from the context menu).

8.
Switch back to the StreamBrowser tab.
9.
Double-click the base stream to open it, then navigate to the file that you just promoted.
Tip: The Outgoing Changes mode () displays all files that have been promoted from a child stream or workspace.
Note the version of the file in the stream (example: acme/3).
10.
Switch back to the StreamBrowser tab.
11.
Double-click the integration stream to open it, then navigate to the file that you just promoted to the base stream.
The version of the file in the integration stream is not the same as the version in the base stream. The basis time prevents automatic inheritance from the base stream.

Switch back to the StreamBrowser tab.
13.
Double-click the workspace below the integration stream to open it.
14.
Click the Update button () on the toolbar. Then click View Full Log.

Switch back to the StreamBrowser tab.
16.
Select the integration stream.
17.
Right-click then select Change Stream from the context menu.
18.
Select a Basis Time of None (cancelling the basis time setting), then click Ok.
19.
Double-click the integration stream to open it, then navigate to the file that you just promoted to the base stream.
The version of the file in the integration stream (example: acme/8) is the same as the version in the base stream. As soon as the basis time is removed from the integration stream, it inherits the new file version from the base stream.
20.
Double-click the workspace below the integration stream, then click the Update button () on the toolbar. Then click View Full Log.
