They can also be used in collaboration tools and frameworks such as wiki’s, forums, and blogs. By associating code changes with issues in change documents, users may also use them to enhance third-party issue tracking systems.
By simply right-clicking in Microsoft Windows Explorer, AccuBridge for Windows Explorer allows users to manage their work under AccuRev version control.
