For each dynamic stream and
workspace (but not for
pass-through streams,
snapshots, or
reference trees), AccuRev keeps track of the elements that are currently under
active development in that context. This set of elements is called the
default group of the stream or workspace.
If an element is already in the default group of a workspace or stream when one of the commands listed above is executed, the element simply remains a member. In othrer words, the default group's membership doesn't change when it's viewed as a set of elements. But it does change if you view the default group as a set of particular versions of those elements.]
The element returns to a passive state in the workspace or stream. A stream returns to inheriting a version of the element from its parent stream; a workspace returns to acquiring versions of the element from the backing stream through the
Update command.
Cross-promoting an element to a stream that is not the immediate parent stream does not remove the element from the default group of the "from" stream.
The Stream Browser can show the
development activity currently taking place in each stream or workspace.

A control below the stream or workspace opens or closes a subwindow that displays the details of the development activity. The activity details can appear in several ways -- by element, by transaction, or by issue record.
For a dynamic stream, the by-element display is a listing of the stream's default group. For a workspace, this subwindow displays those members of the default group that would be found in a
Pending search (see discussion below).
The File Browser's
Default Group search displays
all the members of the default group of a stream or workspace.
A workspace's set of active elements (that is, its default group) is not quite the same as the set of elements with pending (not yet promoted) changes. In practice, the sets will often be the same. But in theory, the sets are overlapping, but not identical:
