Reverting Files

The revert command closes opened files by taking them off your pending changelist instead of submitting them. It also affects your workspace as follows:

• When you revert a file opened for edit or integrate, your workspace copy of the file is replaced with a copy of the file from the depot. Changes you made to your workspace copy of the file will be lost when you run revert!

• When you revert a file opened for add, nothing happens to the file in your workspace; it is simply removed from your pending changelist.

• When you revert a file opened for delete, the deleted file is restored to your workspace from the depot.

• When you revert a file opened for branch/add, your workspace copy of the branched file is removed.

You can revert files by:

• Choosing Run->Revert... in the control panel of the Path Browser or the File Browser. This takes you to a Revert Options page, described in more detail below.

• Clicking the "Revert unchanged files" shortcut button in the Path Browser. This immediately reverts any files opened for edit or integrate in the current path as long as you have not yet modified or resolved them.

• Clicking the "Revert unchanged files" shortcut button in the File Browser. This immediately reverts the current file if it was opened for edit or integrate as long as you have not yet modified or resolved it.

The Revert Options Page

Run->Revert... takes you to a Revert Options page. Select the options you want and click the command button to revert files. You can chose from these options:

Unchanged files only

This option causes revert to operate on only the files you have not yet modified in your workspace. (Note that files opened for add, delete, or branch/add, and files that have been resolved, are considered "modified".)

Restricting files

If you came to the Revert Options page via the Path Browser, you can select the files to revert.
