Checking Out

The VCS is a locking version control system. When you are ready to make changes you need to check out (or unlock) the code you want to change. To do this in VCS, find the component you want to change, right click on it, then select ‘Check Out’

On the checkout window, indicate:

• the reason you are checking out the component. If there is an associated FogBugz case, enter that as in the checkout notes along with a brief synopsis of the activity intended to be worked on.
• If you are updating from the VCS or testing a component, indicate that you are copying out the components for testing.
