You can commit Workbench resources that you have modified to the repository so that other team members can see your work. Only those changes committed on that branch will be visible to others working on that branch. The commit command can be issued from two places: the Team > Commit menu, or the Synchronize view.
To commit changes using Team > Commit:
If there are conflicting changes on any files that are committed in the above fashion, the operation will fail. If this occurs, you must either perform an update or use the Synchronize view to resolve the conflicts. It is considered a more ideal workflow to always update before committing anyway in order to ensure that you have the latest state of the repository before committing more changes.
To commit changes in the Synchronize view:
Tip: You can commit files that are in conflict by performing an Override and Commit. This will commit the Workbench copy of the resource into the repository and thus remove any of the incoming changes.
Warning: The behavior of the Override and Commit command described above only applies to the outgoing mode of the Synchronize view. In the incoming/outgoing mode of the view, the behavior for outgoing changes and conflicts is the same but the command will revert incoming changes to whatever the local Workbench contents are. Exercise great caution if using this command in incoming/outgoing mode.
