Tab Options

Projects Sharing <file>

The list of projects sharing the selected file.  When you check in a file, all the projects shown in this list automatically receive the checked-in version of the file.  If a file is deleted from a project, or if a project is pinned to a specific version of the file (instead of the latest version), that is also indicated in the list window.  Deleted items are noted with a text string, and pinned items are noted with the version number following the filename, for example, $/CODE/HEADER.H; 4.

Close

Closes the Properties dialog box and returns to VSS Explorer.

Report

Displays the Links Report dialog box, in which you can preview a report, and send it to the Clipboard, a text file, or a printer.
