408 Part 12: Source Code Manager This operation must be performed once only by each developer who is using the project. The developer who added the project into the Source Code Manager (you in this case!) has no operation to perform. Remark The next openings of a project managed by SCM are identical to the openings of a project not managed by SCM: all you have to do is open the project (".WWP" file) corresponding to the local copy. Configuring SCM Before you start working on the elements of project found in the SCM, you must configure the mode for checking out the project elements. When working on the elements of a project in the SCM, the element must be checked out from the repository before it can be modified, then it must be checked back in once the changes have been made. Therefore, the modified element becomes available to all SCM users. WEBDEV proposes two modes for checking out the project elements : • the standard mode : if you display an SCM element that is not checked out, a panel indicates that the element must be checked out before it can be modified. The element can be checked out immediately (check-out button found in the dialog box). • the automatic mode : if you try to modify an SCM element that is not checked out, the SCM automatically proposes to check it out. Once the check-out is validated, the element can be modified. Remark : this mode is not recommended when using SCM with a slow Internet connection. The automatic check-out will be used in this tutorial . ▶ To make sure that the automatic check-out is enabled, on the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WEBDEV". In the "General" tab, check (if necessary) "Check out elements during the first modification".
