Commands That Operate on the Selected Version

Open (equivalent to double-click)

Windows: Run the appropriate command on the file, according to its file type. (The Windows file-typing system — "file associations" — does not provide for assigning a file type if the filename has no suffix.)

UNIX: Open a text editor on the file.

View

(text files only) Open a text editor on a temporary copy of the selected version.

Save As

Copy the selected version to another filename.

Commands That Operate on the Overall Element

Browse Versions

Open a Version Browser tab, showing all the versions of the selected element, and their interrelationships (ancestry).

Browse Stream Versions

Open a Stream Version Browser tab for the selected element. This tab displays the depot's stream hierarchy, much like the Stream Browser. But on this tab, each stream represents the version of the specified element that appears in that stream.

Show History

Open a History Browser tab, containing the transactions involving the selected element.

Show Difference

(file elements only) Compares the contents of the two streams' versions of the selected element. Note that when analyzing the contents of a workspace, this command always uses the version currently in the workspace stream (which might be inherited from a higher-level stream). This version differs from the file in the workspace tree if the file has (modified) status.
