3. The Check in to VCS dialog box opens. Select the checkbox on the left to the name of the file that you wish to
check back into Visual SourceSafe and click the OK button.

High-performance Embedded Workshop has checked it out.
5. The red mark next to the file name is removed, which indicates that the file has been checked into Visual
SourceSafe. If you select the Keep checked out checkbox in the Check in to VCS dialog box before you
check the files into Visual SourceSafe, these files can be writable even when they are checked out.
9.2.6 Viewing the status of files in Visual SourceSafe
A
lthough files appear in your High-performance Embedded Workshop project (in the Projects tab of the Workspace
window), Visual SourceSafe is not necessarily controlling them. Some of the files that are being controlled by Visual
SourceSafe will be checked in, and others will be checked out (i.e. being edited by a user). The Get VCS status
command displays the current status of files.
The status of each file will be displayed in the Version Control tab of the output window, or the File(s) Status dialog
box. For setting of location where the status is to be displayed, see section 9.3, Visual SourceSafe command options.
To view the status of files in Visual SourceSafe
1. Select the files whose status you would like to view, in the Projects tab of the workspace window. You may
also select a file folder, project folder, workspace folder or combination thereof.
2. Select one of the following operations:
• Click the Get VCS status toolbar button (
), OR
• Select [Tools -> Version Control -> Get VCS status], OR
• Right-click to invoke a pop-up menu and select [Version Control -> Get VCS status].
3. The Version Control tab of the output window or the File(s) Status dialog box shows the status of files.
