Pin

Files can be pinned in Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS just as in SourceSafe. A file that has been pinned is denoted with a pin symbol. When you pin a file, you are locking in a particular version of the file. In other words, no changes can be made to a file as long as it is pinned. Thus, when a Get Latest operation is performed on a pinned file, the pinned version is the version that will be retrieved, even if there is a more recent version.

How to Pin a File

1. Select the file in the File List.

2. Click Show History or choose the Show History command from either the Tools menu.

3. Select the version you want to pin from the File History dialog box and click Pin. A pin symbol will be displayed to the left of that file version in the History dialog as well as to the left of that file in the File List, indicating the pinned status of the file.

How to Unpin a File

1. Select the file in the File List.

2. Click Show History or choose the Show History command from either the Tools menu.

3. Select the pinned version from the File History dialog box and click Unpin. The pin symbol will be removed from that file version in the History dialog and from the left of that file in the File List.
