Apply a label to a project

Apply a label to a project in source control in order to create a “snapshot” of the project that can be retrieved later.

To perform this task, you must be connected to your collaboration server.

Labels are used for version control within a project. When you attempt to get a specific version of a project, any labels that you have applied will be included in the list of available versions.

Applying a label to a project offers many of the same benefits as branching the project, but without having to create an entirely separate copy of the project.

To apply a label to a project:

  1. Save and close all open worksheets.
  2. Right-click the project root (e.g., Project: projectname.APP) in the Project Explorer, and then click Apply Label on the shortcut menu. The Apply Label page is displayed.
  3. In the Name box, type a name for the label. This is what will appear in the list of available versions.
  4. In the Comment box, type a description of the “snapshot”. This is optional.
  5. Click Create.
The “snapshot” is created in source control. To retrieve it later, get a specific version.
