Managing changelists

Pending changelists contain groups of files with actions that have not yet been made in Surround SCM. Committed changelists contain files with actions that have been made in Surround SCM. You can work with pending and committed changelists in the Changelists dialog box.

To view changelists, choose Tools > Changelists and then select a filter from the Filter changelists by list. The available actions depend on the selected changelist type.

  • To work with pending changelists, select the My Pending or Pending for User filter. You can modify actions in the changelist, commit it to perform the actions on all files in it, add comments to files in it, attach it to a Helix ALM item, or add it to a code review so the changes are reviewed after they are committed. See Working with pending changelists.
  • To work with a committed changelist, select the My Committed, Committed by User, or All Committed filter. You can attach the changelist or files to a Helix ALM item, add files to labels or code reviews, duplicate changes across branches, and rollback changes to undo actions performed when a changelist was committed. See Working with committed changelists.
