Synchronizing with the repository
To synchronize resources in the Workbench those in the repository:
- In the Navigator view, select the resources that you want to synchronize.
- Right-click and select Team > Synchronize with Repository. The
Synchronize view opens.
- Use the toolbar buttons to switch modes for this view. There are three:
- Incoming mode - shows incoming changes only (resources in the repository
that differ from what is in the Workbench).
- Outgoing mode - shows outgoing changes only (resources modified in the
Workbench).
- Incoming/Outgoing mode - shows both incoming and outgoing changes.
Important: It is preferable to update resources in the Workbench
first, resolve any conflicts that exist by merging, then commit Workbench
resources to the repository.
- It is possible that someone has committed a new revision of your file since
you started working on it. This will result in a conflict, and care
must be taken to resolve this. To see just conflicts, click the Show Only
Conflicts button on the view's toolbar.
The resources displayed in the Structure Compare area will depend
on which mode is used in the Synchronize view. In the Text Compare area, the
Workbench resource is on the left side, and the repository resource is on the
right side.
