|
(and enable other users to see changes in file) you will |
|
|
have to: |
|
|
1. save file locally to disk (under same name), and |
|
|
2. send it to server again. |
|
|
If you send file to server under different name, you |
|
|
will have two copies of same file which can be confusing. |

- updating copy of file on server |
46 |
|
To update file on server (and enable other users to see |
47 |
|
changes in file) you will have to: |
48 |
|
1. save file locally to disk (check-out file from |
49 |
|
server) -- that is achieved using check-out |
50 |
|
icon which is right from filename) |
51 |
|
2. once you checkouted file, icon will change to |
52 |
|
finger to warn you that you have to return |
53 |
|
new copy of that file to server. |
54 |
|
3. edit file locally on computer and save it to |
55 |
|
local disk |
56 |
|
4. send it to server again (using link on filename |
57 |
|
or icon on the right of filename) |
58 |
|
|
59 |
|
You can also upload file under different name if you want |
60 |
|
to keep old copy for some reason. However, for evoluating |
61 |
|
files, system will keep last five copies of files |
62 |
|
automatically. |
63 |
|
- adding note to each file (which will describe file better than |
64 |
|
filename alone) |

- removing lock on file -- this option is fail-safe only. It's not |
78 |
|
planned that users will remove locks manually. Locks are used |
79 |
|
when one user check-out file to edit it. Other users can't |
80 |
|
view or edit same file until that user return updated copy |
81 |
|
(check-in) to server. However, it's possible that some users |
82 |
|
will check-out file by mistake (instead of just viewing it), |
83 |
|
so this option can be used to unlock file again. |

For last five uploads, you will be able to retrieve old version |

|
Planned enhancements: |
|
|
- locking of files so that other users can't download file while |
|
|
one user is changing it. This will be accomplished by checking |
|
|
out (downloading to local machine) of file and checking in |
|
|
(sending back to server) of file. |
|
|
- adding of comments to file which can be viewed directly on web |
|
|
(short notes like: "this is just a working version") |
