Trace|Reserved Edit (Professional version only)

Use this command to prepare files for modification in a reserved-checkout environment.

Select "Try to edit if possible" if SmartCVS should just start editing this file, if nobody else is already editing it. Select "Force edit even if other users are editing" if SmartCVS should start editing even when other users have marked it for editing. Select "Edit only, if latest revision(s)" to start editing only, if you already are using the latest revision (the Remote State shows Latest). Select "Refresh editors" to let SmartCVS automatically refresh the Editors table column, if displayed.

If the edit command is successful, the selected files become writable and the CVS server notifies other users that you are planning to modify the files.

  Info: SmartCVS can only reset the read-only flag correctly, if you told it, what external commands to use (Edit|Preferences).
