Share with <name> Dialog Box (Explorer and Plug-in)
Shares the current version of a file to make it a member of the current project or shares the current version of a project to create a new subproject. If you branch a shared file, changes made in the branched file no longer propagate to the file versions in other projects. Similarly, changes made to the file in the other projects no longer propagate to the branched file.
