Viewing graphical file history

The graphical history provides a visual representation of a file's version history. You can view actions that caused the version number to change, trace when changes were promoted, rebased, and duplicated across branches, and view file details at any stage in the history.

1. Select a file and choose Activities > Graphical History.

The Graphical History window opens. The version graphic displays the branches that include the file along the vertical axis and a timeline of the file history along the horizontal axis. Each file version is displayed as a node including the version number and an icon for the action performed at that version. Arrows between nodes indicate if the file was promoted, rebased, or duplicated.

2. Select the Branches to display. The branches that include the file version are selected by default.

• Click and drag the zoom slider to zoom in and out.
• Click a node to view file version details in the Details pane.
• Click and drag the outlined box in the Navigator to view a specific area in the history.

3. To view differences between file versions, Ctrl+click two file versions, right-click, and choose Differences. See Viewing file differences.

4. Click Save As to save the graph or Print to print it.
