Create a workspace

A workspace is a local folder on your computer that stores a copy of the assets on your company's P4 Server. Your workspace is stored in a folder on your computer where you do your work. P4 Sync regularly checks the files and folders in your workspace against the P4 Server and shows both your changes and changes made by other users. You can upload your changes to the P4 Server and download changes made by other users to your local workspace folder. You can have more than one workspace on your computer. For example, you may have a workspace for each of your projects.

The are two methods of creating a workspace when P4 Sync is logged in to your P4 Server:

• Create a workspace using P4 Sync for assets stored in an existing P4 Server mainline stream. See Create a workspace in P4 Sync.

• Create a workspace using P4 Visual Client (P4V) (P4V) for assets stored in an existing P4 Server classic depot or stream. See Create a workspace in P4V.
