Commit History dialog & Select Commit dialog
These dialogs are used with objects that are under the merge method of version control.
The Commit History dialog shows the history of changes to a version controlled object that have been committed to the master database. The dialog is displayed by right-clicking the version controlled object in the Model Group window and choosing Show commit history.
The Select Commit dialog shows the versions of an object that can be used. The dialog is displayed by clicking the (Version) button in the drop-box to which the object has been added. The button does not appear until an object has been added to the box.
