While browsing SharePoint connections in the Data Source Explorer view, the following contextual menu actions are available, depending on the type of node:

Resource Level Nodes
Open
Opens the selected resource in the editor.
Open in System Application
When you use this action, Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin downloads the selected resource to a local temporary folder and opens the selected resource in the system application that is currently set as the default application associated with that type of resource. You can then edit the resource, save it, and when you switch the focus back to the Data Source Explorer view, Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin will detect that there was a change and will ask if you want to upload the edited resource to the server.
Copy location
Allows you to copy (to the clipboard) an application-specific URL for the resource that can then be used for various actions, such as opening or transforming the resources.
Check Out
Checks out the selected document on the server.
Check In
Checks in the selected document on the server. This action opens the Check In dialog box. For SharePoint Online connections, you only have the option to enter a comment and click the Check In button to process it.
For SharePoint (older version), the following options are available:
  • Minor Version - Increments the minor version of the file on the server.
  • Major Version - Increments the major version of the file on the server.
  • Overwrite - Overwrites the latest version of the file on the server.
  • Comment - Allows you to add a comment for a file that you check in.
Discard Check Out
Discards the previous checkout operation, making the file available to other users.
Important: Due to some API restrictions, the Discard Checkout action may not work when SharePoint Online connections are made directly to a sub-site.
Rename

Delete

Refresh
Performs a refresh on the selected node.
