SUMMARY
This article explains how to check out previous versions of a given file within a Delta project.

MORE INFORMATION
From the Edit menu, choose Check Out to check out previous versions of source code. By specifying a file version, a release number or name, or a date and time, you can retrieve the previous version of the file and copy it to your local project directory. Delta changes the status of the checked out file to *MERGE. Any changes made to the file are calculated and merged with the current master copy when the file is checked in. Delta can only retrieve files for which the previous history exists.

If you need to modify files in a project and test the changes if the current version of the project file does not allow the project to be compiled or tested, check out a compilable previous version of the file.

The current source code of a required module does not allow a developer to test changes made to a new module. By checking out a previous version of source code, a developer can make changes and test them even though a project's current source code cannot be compiled.
