Version Control Functionality - Get Latest Version

Go Up to Version Control

The Get Latest Version functionality lets you access the latest version of a file for viewing only. The Get functionality creates a local copy of the most current version of a project file in your working folder. The file is read-only, so any modifications cannot be saved.

Before working with a project, you should perform a Get on the entire project to ensure that you are working with the latest copy of the project. You should also perform a project-level, recursive Get at intervals to ensure that you have the latest version of files, in the event that they have been altered by others working on the same project.

The following table describes the option and functionality on the Get from Version Control dialog box:

Tip: You can specify the file directory in the Version Control option of the Options Editor. For details, see Version Control Options.
