Reviewing Changes to Text Files

Results are displayed in the Annotate tab. The following example shows the results of Annotate performed against the file test1a.cpp:

Transaction Timeline

A time-line at the top of the Annotate tab shows all transactions associated with the file you selected. Transactions are listed in chronological order (oldest to most recent). Information about each transaction includes a timestamp, transaction number, and username.
