Edit Downloaded files from the Repository

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has tried to edit artifacts that have been downloaded from the repository and then upload them back to the server?

I have a customer who has a requirement for off-line access as they often work at remote sites without access back to the main office.

Thanks

Bill.

It is possible to download a remote server file as an RRC archive, and upload it to a server running on a laptop, and edit the RRC artifacts away from the office.

Now the issues are that when the artifact is re-loaded it creates a new artifact and does not overwrite the original, also all history is lost as well as private tags - the comments may also change depending upon the users made the contributions and whether those same uses are configured on the laptop server.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping something like that would work. Are there any plans to provide an offline capability like in ReqPro offline documents?

We know there is a need to deliver this; the question is when we can get to it (a question of relative priorities). Feel free to find the enhancement work item and add your scenario/rationale/opinion of it's importance.
