Reverting Files

The revert command closes opened files by taking them out of your pending changelist instead of submitting them. Reverting 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 are lost when you revert!
• When you revert a file opened for add, nothing happens to the file in your workspace. The file 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 or add, your workspace copy of the branched file is removed.

You can revert files by:

• Selecting Revert... from the Action menu at the top of the Files tab. This option displays the Revert page, described below.

• Clicking the "Revert unchanged files" shortcut button with a directory selected. This option immediately reverts any files opened for edit or integrate under that directory as long as you have not yet modified or resolved them.
• Clicking the "Revert unchanged files" shortcut button with a file selected. 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 Page

Revert... takes you to the Revert page. Select the options you want and click the command button to preview the revert or revert the files.

Options:

• Restrict to unchanged files: Revert only the files you have not yet modified in your workspace. (Files opened for add, delete, or branch/add, and files that have been resolved, are considered "modified.")
• Restrict to changelist (changelist number): Revert the files in the selected changelist.
