Adding files to source control
Before your team can start checking files out of the source control database for editing, the entire site the team is working on must be added (uploaded) to the source control project or folder. During the course of the project, you may need to add more files periodically, as well. Adding files to source control makes them available for you or other team members to check them out for editing.
To add site files to source control
- Switch to the Site Manager and connect to the source control server.
- In the Site Files pane, select the files to be added to source control. (Note that any desired files in subfolders must be explicitly selected. Selecting the folder itself will not work.)
- On the Source Control menu, click Add to Source Control.
- Confirm that the desired files are selected in the file list. To exclude any file in the list from being added, deselect it.
- Click OK.
When the files have successfully been added to source control, a padlock icon 
will appear in the Source Control column of the Site Files list for each file that is under source control, as in the example below:
Files under source control are indicated with a padlock icon
When you add new files to source control, other team members must use a standalone source control client program (such as SourceSafe Explorer) or another method to download the new files to their computers for the first time. Namo WebEditor cannot be used to retrieve files from the source control server that do not already exist in the local site on the client computer.
