Solution

  • Sparse: The sandbox-directory contains only the files not in sync with the repository. Resynchronise a sparse sandbox deletes all files from the directory that are in sync. (while resynchronising a non-sparse directory will cause the check out of all member-revisions)

    Share: You can share this sandbox with other MKS-users. They can import the same sandbox and work on it (check-in, check-out).

    You may change both settings in the Sandbox Information window of the (topmost) sandbox by (un)checking the check-box "Sparse" resp. "Shared". Doing so does not change any of your working files, just the behaviuor of some operations (e.g check-in)
