Using This Book

The contents of this book are intended to be used as on-line help within the GUI. This book format is provided only as a convenience for users who wish to browse through the help outside of the AccuRev client. Because the content was developed as on-line help, the book is not designed to be read in a linear fashion. You will find that discussions tend to jump from topic to topic with little transition material easing the way between them.
