Using the Workgroup toolbar buttons


    The Workgroup toolbar, at the right end of the main toolbar, puts Workgroup features into easy reach next to GoLive's existing tools. You can use the Workgroup toolbar buttons to check in and check out files, compare file versions, revert to a former file version, and verify which files are checked out by whom.

    • To show or hide the toolbar, select or deselect the Workgroup Toolbar choice in the Window menu.
    • To undock the toolbar, drag its left edge to the desired location. To redock the toolbar with the main toolbar, double-click its title bar (Windows only).

    The following buttons are available on the Workgroup toolbar:

    • The Check Out button Check Out button checks out selected files in the site window. It will also check out a file open in read-only mode if that file is the active window.
    • The Check In button Check In button checks selected files back in again.
    • The Undo Check Out button Undo Check Out button discards any changes you have made to a checked out file and checks it back into the server, but without creating a new revision of the file. This saves storage on the server. Undo Check Out is useful if you have inadvertently saved unwanted changes to a checked out file, or if you mistakenly check out a file and don't want to create a new, identical revision by checking the file back in again.
    • The Compare to Server button Compare to Server button compares the currently selected checked out file with the last checked in version of the file on the server. This can be useful when you want to track changes you've made to the file since checking it out.
    • The Revision List button Revision List button displays all stored revisions of the selected file. Each time you check in a file, GoLive saves a revision to the Workgroup Server. This revision history lets you inspect and return to any previous version of a file, and view any comments entered for each revision.
    • The User Activity button User Activity button displays users currently logged in to the Workgroup Server and any files checked out to those users. Clicking this button activates the User Activity tab in the site window.
