Retrieve files from the depot
The depot is the central repository for files under Helix Server control. Files that you and your coworkers create and modify are stored in the depot when you check the files in.
To retrieve a copy of a file in the depot:
- Select Perforce > Get Latest Revision from Perforce, browse to the desired file, and click Open. The file is copied to your workspace and opened.
- If you want to change the file, choose Perforce > Check out.
To view an older version of an open file, select Perforce > File History, click the desired version, and then click View. To copy the older version to your workspace, click Sync.
