Editing files

When you edit a file, Surround SCM checks out the file, launches the viewer or application, and opens a writable copy of the file. See Setting view and edit file options for information.

  1. Select the file. Choose Activities > Edit File.
  2. The file is opened in the selected editor or application.

  3. Make any changes and save the file.
  4. Remember to check in the file. When you edit a file, it is checked out to the working directory.

    Note: If you use the internal text editor and integrate Surround SCM with TestTrack Pro you can Save, Check In, and Close the file. The text editor closes after the file is checked in.
