# Check files into Perforce P4 Server

When you are finished working on a file that has been checked out of Perforce P4 Server, you need to check it back in, to ensure that your changes are stored in the depot.

To check a file into Perforce P4 Server:

1. Select Perforce > Check in. The Submit dialog opens.
2. In the Description field, enter in a brief description of the work you have done on the file. Note that you must enter something into this field before submitting.
3. If prompted, choose the files that you want to check in. The file that you are working on is automatically selected.
4. If you want to check in your changes and immediately check the file out again (for example, to save a interim version), check Keep checked out.
5. Click Submit.

You can change the status of Perforce P4 Server jobs (which track work to be done) when you submit a file. To close jobs using P4 Plugin for Graphical Tools, you must either set a jobview or attach jobs to changelists. These tasks must be done outside of P4 Plugin for Graphical Tools. Consult your P4 Server administrator for details.

To discard changes:

To discard your changes and restore the version you checked out, select Perforce> Undo Add/Checkout.
