Checking In Files (.NET only)

When you check in a file, StarTeam creates a new revision of that file. StarTeam archives either the entire file or differences between it and the last revision.

Tip: If you have made changes to multiple files, you can commit the entire project. Right click on the root project node in the Solution Explorer, and choose StarTeam > Commit Project to check in all modified files.

Right click on the file name in the Solution Explorer and choose Check In.
Tip: In either the Code or Design views, right click on the filename tab, and choose Check In.
The Check In Files dialog box opens.
Type a description of the changes made to the file in the Summary Comment field. This is optional but recommended.
Tip: To enter a different comment for each file, click the Detail Comment button and type a description.
Click the Options tab at the bottom of the dialog box.
Choose the Lock status. By default, the lock status is set to Keep current, which indicates that the check in will not change the lock status of the file.
Choose additional options in this dialog box, if appropriate.
Click OK.

The project source files are checked into the StarTeam repository. The status of the StarTeam operation displays in the Output window.

Note: If you have a change request (CR) or other component item open in Visual Studio, but the same item is modified and saved by a different client prior to you saving the item in Visual Studio, a message stating A newer version of the item name exists on the server is displayed. If you save the item again, the message is not displayed.
