In the Revision History dialog box, select the revision or revisions you’re interested in and do one of the following:

• Click Compare to Local to compare the selected revision with the local version of the file.

Note: You must install a third-party file comparison tool before you can compare files. For more information on file
comparison tools, use a web search engine such as Google Search to search for “file comparison” or “diff ” tools.
Dreamweaver works with most third-party tools.

• Click Compare to compare two selected revisions. Control-click to select two revisions simultaneously.

• Click View to view the selected revision. This action does not overwrite the current local copy of the same file.

You can save the selected revision to your hard drive just as you would save any other file.

• Click Promote to make the selected revision the most current revision in the repository.

Lock and unlock files

Locking a file in the SVN repository lets other users know that you are working on a file. Other users can still edit the
file locally, but will not be able to commit the file until you’ve unlocked it. When you lock a file in the repository, you’ll
see an open-lock icon on the file. Other users see a completely locked icon.
