Synchronizing assets with the repository

You can compare differences and synchronize changes between the assets that you have imported into your workspace and the assets on the repository.

Before you begin

To view differences and synchronize assets, you must import an asset into your workspace. To import assets, see Importing assets

Procedure

  1. In the Asset Management perspective, open the Synchronize view.
  2. To view the differences between assets in your workspace and the latest version of the asset on the repository, click Synchronize assets. The Synchronize view is updated with a list of assets that have changed.
  3. Expand assets to work with artifacts, or compare and synchronize full assets. The Local panel shows the content of an asset in your workspace; the Server panel shows the content of that same asset on the repository server.
  4. Right-click an asset or artifact and choose from the following options:
    • Get Server Contents: The content from the server replaces the content in your workspace.
    • Open In Compare Editor: The Eclipse Compare Editor opens to compare the contents of the file. If you selected an asset, the Eclipse Manifest Compare editor opens.
    • Open Local: Opens the local file that is in your workspace in an editor.
    • Open Remote: Opens the content that is on the repository server in an editor.
