Adding a New File to the Team Project

To add a new document or file to the team project, you must first add it to your working copy, then check the new file into the team project. After you check the file in, other team members can check out and edit the new file.

  1. Add the document or file to your project as you normally would. At this point it only exists in your working copy.
  2. Save and close the file.
  3. In the Team Authoring window, select the new file.
  4. Click the Check In button. The Check In dialog opens.

  5. Confirm the check in and click the Check In or OK button.

    When you add a file to a project, you are making a change to the project (.d2h) file itself. Therefore, a message will display that informs you that the project file will be edited. Click OK to confirm. For TFS projects, make sure to check the project file back in after you are done. For more on project files, see Checking Out the Project File.

Note New files that have not yet been checked into the repository will display in a different color to alert you. If you would like to change the text and highlight color, use the Doc-To-Help Options dialog (File > Tools > Options > Team).

Note For other tasks, see Working in a Team Project.
