Checking In a DesignSync File or Folder

You can check in a DesignSync object when creating a new object, or from a list page that includes DesignSync objects, or the Properties page for a DesignSync object.

For checking into a module:


  • When you check a file into a module, the ENOVIA system creates a new module version. You cannot check into a module branch.
  • The selected tar or gz file for checking into the module must contain the full contents of the new module version; any objects not in the new version but which had been in a prior version will NOT be included in the new module version.
  • For modules that have hrefs defined, the new module version will include those hrefs and a hidden tag. For subsequent downloads, the ENOVIA system uses the hidden tag to locate the corrent module version.
  • The checkin process also compares the new module with the prior module and creates a manifest file that lists objects removed, added, or modified.
