Revision control keywords allow you to embed version-specific information into your design objects. By including keywords in your files, you can access revision
information (such as revision number, author, and comment log),
which is stored in the RCE archive that underlies your DesignSync
vault.
You can control keyword substitution by selecting one of the following options from the Keys option drop-down menu:
- Update values and keep keys
- Expands keyword values and retains the keywords in the file
(default option). For example: $Revision 1.4 $
- Update values and remove keys
- Expands keyword values but removes keys from the file. This option
is not recommended when you check out files for editing. If you
edit and then check in the files, future keyword updates are
impossible, because the value without the keyword is interpreted as
regular text. For example, 1.4.
Note:
When you select this option, you will be prompted to confirm before the operation proceeds.
- Remove values and keep keys
- Keeps the keywords but removes keyword values. This option is
useful if you want to ignore differences in keyword expansion, such
as when you are comparing two different versions of a file. For
example, $Revision: 1.2 $
- Do not update
- Keeps exactly the same keywords and values as were present at
the last checkin operation.
