Keeping Your Modified Files The Keep operation is a "private check in". It makes a copy of your modified file in secure storage maintained by the AccuRev Server. It also records the creation of a new version of the file in the AccuRev database. Keeping new versions in the workspace enables you to checkpoint and back up your own code, while preventing your changes from being seen by other developers. 1. Select the file you modified. 2. Click the Keep button () on the File Browser toolbar. Alternative: Right-click and choose Keep from the context menu. Enter a comment in the Keep dialog box, and click Keep. Note: The status of the file now includes the indicator (kept).
