You can push changes to repositories to update Surround SCM to match your working directory. For example, if you use third-party source libraries that are frequently modified when new versions are available, you can push changes to simultaneously move, create, and add files and repositories in Surround SCM.
Note: Pushing changes is a one-way update and does not affect working directory contents. If you want to perform a two-way comparison to view all differences between local and server copies, and update working directories and repositories, diff the repository and working directory. See Viewing differences between repositories and working directories.
1. Select the repository and choose Repository > Push to Repository.
The Push to Repository dialog box opens.
2. Click the display mode button to switch between tree view and list view.
3. Click Expand All to expand all repositories with differences. Click Collapse All to collapse all expanded repositories.
