Line-by-line annotation helps you trace the history of file changes and provides better support for code reviews, audits, and similar processes. Annotation helps you identify new or changed lines between versions, who made the change, when it was made, and the action that caused the change.
Tip: Diff the files if you need to compare, accept, or reject differences between file versions. See Viewing file differences.
1. Select a file.
Note: The only Unicode files you can annotate are UTF-8 and UTF-16.
2. Choose Activities > Annotate.
The Annotate dialog box opens.
3. Select a Version to annotate.
Note: If you annotate a file in a snapshot branch, the Version to annotate field is set to the selected version in the parent branch and the field is read-only.
4. Select a Show changes since option.
Changes are displayed for the version after the selected version and all versions up to the selected version to annotate. For example, if you select to annotate version 10 and select version 5 in this field, annotations are displayed for versions 6 through 10.
Note: If you select All, it can take several minutes to annotate the files if there are many revisions or the file size is large.
5. Click Annotate.
A progress indicator opens. When the annotation is complete, the Annotate window opens. See Working with annotate results.
