Summary
The Release preferences dialog is used to set up how the range of Altium Designer Preferences are released to the Server Item. The dialog offers three modes for how preferences option groups (pages in the Preferences dialog) will be applied to Altium Designer.
Access
The dialog is accessed in the following ways:
- In the Preferences dialog, click Send to server from the Save button drop-down menu. In the Choose Item dialog (this is a trimmed-down version of the Explorer panel), choose the next planned revision of an existing Designer Preferences Item, or create a new Designer Preferences Item (and initial planned revision) on-the-fly. After choosing the required target Item Revision, click OK. The Edit Revision dialog will open in which you can change the Name and Description, and add release notes as required then click OK. This dialog is used to manage the way in which the range of Altium Designer Preferences are released to the targeted revision of the Designer Preferences Item.
- In the Preferences dialog, choose Load from server from the Load drop-down menu then choose the desired Item Revision in the Choose Item dialog (this is a trimmed-down version of the Explorer panel). This option is available only when manually choosing a released revision of a designer preferences item.
Options/Controls
