AccuRev menu commands

These commands are available under AccuRev on Visual Studio’s main menu. They are also available under File > AccuRev. The AccuRev menu appears only if a solution is active in the Solution Explorer. The solution need not have any projects under AccuRev source control.

Command Description
Update Performs an AccuRev Update command on all workspaces that contain projects in the current solution. An update copies versions into your workspace from your workspace’s backing stream. This has the effect of incorporating other people's changes, which they have promoted to the backing stream, into your workspace.
Update Preview Lists the changes that would be made by an actual workspace update in the Output window’s AccuRev pane.
Login

Do not use this command if AccuRev is configured to use the traditional user-authentication scheme. See Establishing Your Identity for more information.
