You can change the status of individual repository objects from the Repository Manager. Each version of an object maintains its own status. You must check in the object for other users to view changes to the object status. This is true even if you delete the object.
If you change the status of an object from Active to Deleted, the repository removes the object from view. No other objects can use or reference the deleted object. You can recover a deleted object by changing its status from Deleted to Active.
You can change the status of an object when you view object history, query results, object dependencies, deployment group contents, or checkouts. To change object status, complete the following steps.
To change the status of an object:
In the Repository Manager, right-click the object in the Navigator and click Versioning > View History.
The View History window appears.
Select the latest version of the object, and click Tools > View Properties.
The object properties appear.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Object Status tab.
From the Object Status list, select a status for the object.
Click OK.
Check in the object for other users to view changes to the status.
You can also change the status of folders in the repository.
