Get Latest Version

The Get Latest Version feature will copy the most current project files from your SI Server. This option is only active if someone else has updated the project files since you last checked them out onto your machine.

Checking out a project will automatically copy the latest version of the files to your machine, but this function can also be used if you don't wish to check out the project.

View Check In and Check Out History

The History feature displays the check-in and check-out history for a project. When you select a row in the project history section, any changed fields will be displayed in the Changed Fields section.
