Source Control File Status

The Source Control File Status feature provides visual representation of a file’s status in both CVS and in Subversion (either one [but only one ] can be active). The status of each file is represented by a different color in Studio’s Project Explorer.

 

Source Control File Status highlights files that are:

Newly added  

Modified

Merged with conflicts

Not under the Version Control System

Up-To-Date (unmodified)

  

By default, Source Control File Status highlighting is enabled for both Subversion and CVS sources; the highlighting  default colors for each of the products are different.
