Keywords are case-sensitive placeholders that can be added to text files. When viewing, getting, or checking in files, Surround SCM looks for keywords and automatically embeds the corresponding information. For example, Pat checks in a file that includes the $Author$ keyword. Surround SCM replaces the keyword with $Author: PatUser$.
Note: Keywords cannot be expanded for binary files.
