The transaction used to update a parent workspace with respect to files contained in its child workspace. All CodeManager transfer transactions are performed from the perspective of the child workspace; the Putback transaction "puts back" files to the parent from the child workspace. See also Bringover Create, Bringover Update, and Workspace.

After all changes are checked in, tested, reviewed, and approved, a developer integrates his or her changes into an appropriate gate. The word putback is used to refer to the set of changes itself and the act of integrating it into the gate.
