Modifying stream contents

You can use the web client to edit the contents of a stream by adding or deleting files and folders, or by uploaded modified versions of files.

Creating repository workspaces
You can create a new, empty repository workspace and then load it with existing components from other workspaces or streams. You can also create a repository workspace from a stream when you want to work with the specific configuration of component baselines that the stream contains.
Creating snapshots
A snapshot records the current baselines of each component in a repository workspace or stream. You can take a snapshot to create a record of the configuration of a collection of components. Whenever you want, you can return to the previous snapshot configuration.
Creating baselines
A baseline records the current configuration of a component in a repository workspace or stream.
Editing workspaces or streams
You can use the web client to edit workspaces or streams.
Editing baselines, components, or snapshots
You can use the web client to edit baselines, components, or snapshots.
Editing repository files
You can use the web client to edit repository files by downloading, editing, and then uploading new file versions to the repository. You can also edit repository text files directly in the web browser.
Adding files or folders to repositories
You can use the web client to add files or folders to the repository.
Adding custom attributes for repository files
You can add custom attributes to repository files by using the web client.
Creating text files in repositories
You can use the web client to create and edit a text file in the repository.
Deleting repository files or folders
You can use the web client to delete file or folders in the repository.
Locking repository files
You can use the web client to lock a repository file in a specific stream, so that other users cannot modify the file.
Renaming repository files or folders
You can use the web client to rename files or folders in the repository.
Searching for repository artifacts
You can use the web client to search for streams, repository workspaces, components, baselines, snapshots, change sets, locks, or files by using the advanced search.
Editing change set comment
You can edit your change set comments in the web client.
Viewing completed change sets
You can use the web client to add files or folders to the repository.
Create a new work item to associate with file
You can create a new work item to associate with a file that you want to commit, as well as selecting an existing work item in the web client.
Associating work items with existing change sets
You can use the web client to associate work items and change requests with existing change sets.
Associating change requests with change sets
You can use the web client to associate change requests with change sets.
The code review tool
The code review tool is a web-based review tool that integrates with Engineering Workflow Management source control and work items. The tool provides a code review presentation that you can attach to a work item type.
Viewing flow and lock information in the Workspace editor and Stream editors
You can view flow target information and auto-lock patterns in the Workspace editor and Stream editor.
Lock, unlock, and refresh using the Stream editor
Adding components
You can add components from baselines, another repository workspace or stream, or from a snapshot to a stream in the web client.
Adding multiple files using the component editor
Using the component editor, you can now upload multiple files at once. You can also edit properties, such as encoding, executable, and line delimiter, before you upload the files to the stream.
Changing the global configuration context
You can change the Global Configuration Context in the Engineering Workflow Management web client.
Showing and setting link validity and validity summary information for ELM source control files
Link validity is the status of links between artifacts to indicate whether the contents of two artifacts meet the intended meaning of the link between them. You can use the link validity status to achieve consistency across artifacts and links as you make changes that propagate through the linked data.
Locating change sets
You can determine which streams, repository workspaces, snapshots, or baselines contain a change set or set of change sets.
