Update streams

As part of maintaining your stream spec, you might:

modify the paths of the stream to:
- change the version of an included library by modifying the target of an import path
- change the scope of a path to widen or narrow the scope included
Change restrictions on who can submit to the stream

Use the Private editing of streams feature of p4 stream. This includes the -So, -Si, or -Sx options of p4 edit, p4 submit, p4 revert, and p4 resolve. These options give you control of when your changes will affect other users. We recommend that you: isolate your work in progress so that other users of the stream are not impeded make edits to the stream spec visible through a changelist (see Changelist reporting)	use the `p4 stream` command, which immediately updates all workspace views derived from that stream

Note

In addition to the files being shelved, p4 shelve also shelves any open stream specification.

To shelve only the stream spec, use p4 shelve -As

In addition to the files being unshelved, p4 unshelve also unshelves any open stream specification.

To unshelve only the stream spec, use p4 unshelve -As

Edit a stream

Recommended	Still Supported
p4 edit -So	p4 stream edit
Puts your client’s stream spec into the "opened" state, isolating any edits made to fields that affect view generation. While the spec is open, these fields are marked with the comment "#open" to indicate that they are open and isolated to your client. Changes made to these fields affect your client’s view only. Other clients' views are not affected.

Recommended	Still Supported
p4 resolve -So	p4 stream resolve
Resolves changes that have been submitted to the stream spec since you opened it. You cannot submit changes to the stream spec until newer changes have been resolved.

Recommended	Still Supported
p4 revert -So	`p4 stream revert` reverts any pending changes made to the open stream spec, returning your client to the latest submitted version of the stream.
Reverts any pending changes made to the open stream spec, returning your client to the latest submitted version of the stream.

p4 shelve and p4 unshelve affect not just files but also any open stream specification.
