The Versioning window is a visual tool that enables you to evaluate the evolution of changes in version-controlled files. It also simplifies operations such as updating the working directory with previous revisions and merging changes across different branches.

To open the Versioning window, right-click any VCS filesystem and choose Show Versions (Ctrl-8).

The Versioning window displays a tree view of all mounted VCS filesystems and their contents. Each file in the filesystem is represented by its own node. The top-level node represents the current working copy as it exists in your working directory. When you expand a file's node, you see subnodes representing each revision of the file.

Each revision node is annotated with a revision number and log message. You can review versions that appear on different branches by expanding the revision node corresponding to where the branch was made.

You can right-click any revision node to access the following commands:

For CVS filesystmes, revision nodes also contain the following commands:

Note You can set the length of revision log messages and other Versioning window options for each filesystem. Right-click the VCS filesystem node in the Versioning window and choose Properties.
