Getting the Latest Version of a File

It is possible to retrieve the latest version of a file (including a project file) from the server. TFS projects have the additional option to retrieve a specific version of a file from the server. Getting the latest version does not check out the file, but synchronizes your working copy with the server.

  1. In the Team Authoring window, select the file.
  2. Click the Get Latest Version button.
  3. If you are using a file or web repository and you selected the project (D2H) file, the Get Latest Version dialog opens. Confirm the information and click the OK button.

Note In TFS projects you have the option of retrieving a specific version of a file from the repository. To do so, click the Get Latest Version drop-down and choose Get Specific Version. The Get Specific Version dialog will allow you to choose the files to get by a variety of options, including Date and Changeset. After making your selection and choosing the appropriate overwrite option, click the Get button.
