In some cases, you may want to know what changes were made to a file, either recently or throughout its existence. You can request the source-code control system to show a history for a file or files that you have added to source-code control. Some source-code control systems allow you to select only a single file. The type of detail shown in the file histories depends on the source-code control system.

To show file histories

  1. In the FileView pane of the Project Workspace window, select the file or files for which you want a history.

  2. From the Project menu, choose Source Control, and then choose Show History from the drop-down menu.

    Your source-code control system displays the history for the selected file or files.
