Get the latest versions of files

When you get the latest version of a file from the SVN repository, Dreamweaver merges the contents of that file with

the contents of its corresponding local copy. (In other words, if someone else has updated the file since you last

committed it, those updates are merged into the local version of the file on your computer.) If the file does not yet exist

on the local hard drive, Dreamweaver simply gets the file.

Note: When getting files for the first time from the repository, you should work with a local directory that is empty, or a

local directory that does not contain files with the same names as files in the repository. Dreamweaver will not mount

repository files to the local drive upon first try if the local drive contains files whose names match files in the remote

repository.

1 Make sure that you’ve successfully set up an SVN connection.

2 Do one of the following:

• Display the local version of your SVN files in the Files panel by selecting Local view from the View pop-up menu.

(If you are working in the expanded Files panel, the Local view is automatically displayed.) Then right-click

(Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file or folder you’re interested in and select Version Control

> Get

Latest Versions.

• Display the SVN repository files by selecting Repository View from the View pop-up menu in the Files panel,

or by clicking the Repository Files button in the expanded Files panel. Then right-click (Windows) or Control-

click (Macintosh) the file or folder you’re interested in and select Get Latest Versions.

Note: You can also either right-click a file and choose Check Out from the context menu, or select the file and click the

Check Out button to get the latest version. Because SVN does not support a check-out workflow, however, this action does

not actually check out the file in the traditional sense.

Commit files

1 Make sure that you’ve successfully set up an SVN connection.

2 Do one of the following:

• Display the local version of your SVN files in the Files panel by selecting Local view from the View pop-up menu.

(If you are working in the expanded Files panel, the Local view is automatically displayed.) Then select the file

you want to commit and click the Check In button.

• Display the SVN repository files by selecting Repository View from the View pop-up menu in the Files panel,

or by clicking the Repository Files button in the expanded Files panel. Then right-click (Windows) or Control-

click (Macintosh) the file you want to commit and select Check In.

3 Review the actions in the Commit dialog box, make changes if necessary, and click OK.

You can change actions by selecting the file whose action you want to change, and clicking the buttons at the bottom

of the Commit dialog box. Two choices are available: commit and ignore.
