Revert files, to discard changes

To remove an open file from a changelist and discard any changes you made, issue the p4 revert command. When you revert a file, Helix Server restores the last version you synced to your workspace. If you revert a file that is open for add, the file is removed from the changelist but is not deleted from your workspace.

Example   Revert a file

Bruno decides not to add his text files after all.

C:\bruno_ws\dev> p4 revert *.txt
//Acme/dev/docs/manuals/installnotes.txt#none - was add, abandoned
//Acme/dev/docs/manuals/requirements.txt#none - was add, abandoned

To preview the results of a revert operation without actually reverting files, specify the -n option when you issue the p4 revert command.
