Shelve and unshelve changelists

You can shelve a pending changelist to save its files temporarily without submitting them to a P4 Server. Shelved changelists are stored on the server and can be accessed from any workspace. Use the Shelves tab to view, unshelve, submit, or delete shelved changelists.

Before you begin

Your workspace must be connected to a P4 Server and you must be signed in to it.

Shelved changelist actions

The Shelves tab lists all shelved changelists that are visible to you, including your own changelists across all workspaces and changelists shared by other users.

For each shelved changelist, the following actions are available:

• Submit: Submit the shelved changelist to P4 Server.

• Unshelve: Apply the shelved files to your workspace. To learn more, see Unshelve a changelist.

• Delete: Delete the shelved changelist from the server.

Shelve a pending changelist or file

You can shelve a pending changelist or a single file from Local Versions.

1. In Local Versions, right-click the pending changelist or file that you want to shelve.

2. Click Shelve.

Unshelve a changelist

When you unshelve a changelist, P4 One applies the shelved files to your workspace.

1. In the Shelves tab, find the shelved changelist that you want to unshelve.

2. Click Unshelve.

   If any of the shelved files are already checked out for edit in your workspace, P4 One opens a conflict dialog.

3. If a conflict dialog appears, choose one of the following options:

   • Resolve: Resolve the conflict between your local changes and the shelved version.

   • Discard: Discard your local changes and apply the shelved version.
