The Stream Version Browser
The Stream Version Browser tool is a variant of the Stream Browser. It displays the stream hierarchy for an entire depot; each stream, snapshot, and workspace in the display represents a version of a specified element.
The Stream Version Browser displays information about one particular element. In a File Browser, select a file or directory element in the Details pane. Then click the Browse Stream Versions toolbar button,
The Stream Version Browser display is almost exactly the same as the Stream Browser display. But the pathname of the specified element is displayed in the upper right corner of the tab. Also, the workspace that you were in (when you invoked the Stream Version Browser from in the File Browser) is displayed at the bottom of the GUI window.
Each box in the Stream Version Browser display represents the version of the specified element that is currently in that stream, snapshot, or workspace. A workspace box indicates the version in the workspace stream, which is not necessarily the same as the file in the workspace tree. They differ if the file has (modified) status.
The Stream Version Browser has many of the same commands as the Stream Browser for controlling the display. These commands, available in the Stream Version Browser toolbar, include:
Search for Stream
Find the stream(s) whose name includes a specified character string. A Search for Stream dialog appears.
Graphical Display
Display the depot's stream hierarchy as a tree
Tabular Display
Display the depot's stream hierarchy as a table
Graphical/Tabular Display
Display the depot's stream hierarchy as a tree in one pane, and as a table in another pane.
Graphical/Workflow Display
(AccuWorkflow only) Display the depot's stream hierarchy as a tree in one pane, and display the depot's workflow in another pane.

Save As
