# File management

You use P4 Server clients to manage a special area of your computer, called a workspace. Directories in the depot are mapped to directories in your workspace, which contain local copies of managed files. You always work on managed files in your workspace:

1. You populate your local workspace by syncing files from the depot.
2. You check the files out of the depot (and into your workspace).
3. You make changes to the files.
4. You check them back into the depot, also known as submitting.
5. If the changes you try to submit conflict with changes that other users, working in parallel with you, have already submitted, you must resolve conflicts as needed.
