When you find an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® asset and want to modify its
contents, import the asset into your workspace.

click Import.

- For the latest content on the branch that the asset was
submitted from, select Import latest from current branch.
- For content that is on another branch, select Import
from other existing branches and type the name of the
branch.
- For content that is on a new branch that will be created when
the asset content is checked in, select Import by creating
a new branch and type the name of the new branch.

branches, an asset can have artifacts from only one branch.

What to do next

you cannot submit the asset to Rational Asset Manager.
