Showing project copies

To view the references between master documents and project copies:

  1. Select either a master document or a project copy.
  2. On the Document menu, point to Managed Change and click Show Project Copies. A reference browser dialog will appear similar to the following figure. The reference browser can also be displayed by clicking the work-in-progress icon on the Document page of the selected document.

Tip    The work-in-progress icon is red   for master documents, blue   for project copies, and crossed shovels   for inactive project copies.

Active project copies are those project copies that have not yet been reconciled with the master document.

Inactive project copies are those project copies that have already been reconciled with their master document and are shown in gray in the reference browser. Inactive project copies may be hidden from viewing in the reference browser by disabling the Display inactive project copies option in the Options dialog accessed by the Options button.

Following are descriptions of the three panes of the reference browser dialog.

  1. Select a document in the upper-left pane to view its path in the upper-right pane.
  2. Click Go to to close the reference browser and make the selected document the selected document in the Navigation view. Click Close to close the reference browser and return to the selected document in the Navigation view.

Tip    Right-click a document in the upper-left pane to display the document context menu. Document commands that are valid for the current context and document workflow state are available for use.

The toolbar buttons are described in the following table.
