Getting the Latest Version of Source Control Files—Team Foundation Server

After you bind a Lingo project to a source control application, you can get the latest version of any of the source control files. When you do this, you are copying the most current files stored in the source control application to your local Lingo project without necessarily checking out the files. This means that the "Read Only" designation will remain associated with the files until you check them out.

How to Get the Latest Version of Source Control Files

  1. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

    • Ribbon Select Source Control > Get Latest Version (for selected files) or Source Control > Get Latest Version All (for all files in the project).

    • Right-Click In the File List window pane, right-click the file you want to get and select Source Control > Get Latest Version.
    • Source Control Explorer With the Pending Changes pane open, right-click the file you want to update and select Get Latest Version.

  2. If the local and server files are the same, a message tells you so. Click OK.

    If the local file is different from the file on the server, the Resolve Conflicts dialog opens. If you want to accept all of the differences between the local and server files, thus merging them, click Auto Merge All. If you want to review the differences in the files side by side and resolve each conflict, click Resolve.

What’s Noteworthy?

Note By default, when you open a project that is bound to source control, a message automatically asks if you want to get the latest version of files. However, you can disable this prompt in the Options dialog (File > Options).

Note If you update your read-only files with read-only files and you do not perform a check out, the files will appear to be submitted without actually updating the server-side version.
