<TITLE>Reverting Files</TITLE>

<P> The <B>revert</B> command closes opened files by taking them out of your <a href="pendingchangelists?help">pending 
  changelist</a> instead of submitting them. Reverting also affects your workspace 
  as follows: 
<ul>
<p>
  <li> When you revert a file<b> opened for edit or integrate</b>, your workspace 
    copy of the file is replaced with a copy of the file from the depot. <font color=red> 
    Changes you made to your workspace copy of the file are lost when you revert! 
    </font> </li>
   
  <li> When you revert a file<b> opened for add</b>, nothing happens to the file 
    in your workspace. The file is simply removed from your pending changelist. 
  </li>  
  <li> When you revert a file<b> opened for delete</b>, the deleted file is restored 
    to your workspace from the depot.</li>

 
  <li> When you revert a file<b> opened for branch or add,</b> your workspace 
    copy of the branched file is removed. </li>
</ul>

<p>
You can revert files by:

<ul>
  <li>Selecting <b>Revert...</b> from the <b>Action</b> menu at the top of the 
    <B>Files</B> tab. This option displays the <b>Revert</b> page, described below. 
    <p> 
  <li>Clicking the "Revert unchanged files" shortcut button <img src="/runrevert?icon" border=none>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 <a href="resolve?help">resolved</a> them.</li><p> 
    
  <li>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. 
</ul>

<p>
<h3>The Revert Page</h3>

<p> <b>Revert...</b> takes you to the <b>Revert</b> page. Select the options you 
  want and click the command button to preview the revert or revert the files. 
<p><b>Options: </b>
<ul>
  <li> <B>Restrict to unchanged files:</B> 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.")</li>
  <li><B>Restrict to changelist <I>(changelist number)</I></B>: Revert the files 
    in the selected changelist. </li>
</ul>

#1 12234 Matt Attaway Rejigger P4Web project in preparation for official sunsetting

The bin directory contains the last official builds of P4Web from the
Perforce download site. P4Web is soon to be completely sunsetted; these
builds are here for folks who don't want to build their own.

To better handle the archived builds the source code has been moved into
a separate src directory.
