Putting Files into Local Mode

To put files into local mode:

1. Do one of the following:

• Select the projects or files that you want to work on in local mode, and select Team | Local Mode from the context menu.

• Open a file and attempt to edit it in the editor. You are prompted to either check out the file or make it local.

The default choice is Make Local. To avoid this dialog in the future and always make the file local, you can select Don't ask me again.

NOTE   You can change your default setting in the Preferences tab: Window | Preferences | Team | Dimensions | Version Management | File Modification

The local mode icon appears on the icons of the selected files.

2. If your business processes support an optimistic locking approach, check in the files after making the edits in local mode by selecting Team | Checkin.

The new revision of the file is placed at the tip (latest revision) of the default working branch.
