Update streams
As part of maintaining your version control application, you might:
-
modify the paths of the stream to:
- change the version of an included library by modifying the target
of an
importpath - change the scope of a path to widen or narrow the scope included
- change the version of an included library by modifying the target
of an
- Change restrictions on who can submit to the stream
To do this, modify the stream specification:
- (new in 2019.1 and recommended) use the Private editing of streams feature of p4 stream. This includes the -So, -Si, or -Sx options of p4 edit, p4 submit, p4 revert, and p4 resolve. These options give you control of when your changes will affect other users. We recommend that you:
- isolate your work in progress so that other users of the stream are not impeded
- make edits to the stream spec visible through a changelist (see Changelist reporting)
- (prior to 2019.1 and still supported) use the
p4 stream
The table below shows the recommended commands.

Other clients' views are not affected. | |
