Work with pending changes to submit to the P4 Server

When you add, edit, delete, and make other changes to files in your workspace, they are added to a pending changelist. A pending changelist is a list of files and actions that are grouped logically. When you finish making changes and are ready to share them with your team, submit your pending changelist to the P4 Server. All actions are performed at the same time on the list of files in the changelist.

Your pending changelists are displayed in the timeline view in P4 One.

View and submit pending changes

1. In the timeline, find the Pending Changelists section. Each changelist appears as a card showing the changelist number and the files it contains. Click a card to expand or collapse it.

2. To view the action that occurs for the file when you submit the changelist, mouse over the icon next to the file. To learn more, see Action icons.

3. For additional actions on the pending changelist, see Additional actions.

4. When you are ready to submit the current changes to P4 Server, click Submit Changelist. To learn more, see Submit a version to P4 Server.
