Working with annotate results

Information about annotated files is displayed in the following columns in the Annotate window.

Column	Description
User	User who made the last change to the line
Version	Version of the file the change was included in
Event Type	Event that caused the change, such as check in or promote
Change Type	Type of change made to the line (add or modify)
Line #	File line number
Content	New or changed content

Consecutive lines with the same version number are grouped, indicated by different background colors. All lines in a group share the column information displayed in the first row of the block. Only the Content column information is different.

Note: If Surround SCM cannot annotate a line, a dash (-) is displayed and the line is grayed out. Deleted lines are not annotated.

You can perform the following actions in the Annotate window:

To add or remove a column, right-click a column and select the column from the list. To move a column, drag it to the new location.
To select all rows that contain the same value, click a value in the User, Version, Timestamp, or Event Type column. This can help you see the relationship between changes. For example, click a version in the Version column to select all changes made in the selected version.
To open a pop-up window that includes all information and comments entered when an event was performed, mouse over a line. This can help you see information in columns hidden in the Annotate window.
To annotate a version that was promoted or rebased, click the link in the Event Type column.
To search the Content column, enter a word or phrase in the Find field and click Find. Click Find again to go to the next match.
To go to a specific line, click Go To, enter the line number, and click OK.
