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 of the actions are performed at the same time on the list of files in the changelist.

You manage your pending changelists on the Pending Changes tab in P4 One.

1. Click the Pending Changes tab.

   • The left pane contains the list of pending changelists for the workspace. For each changelist, the changelist number and the number of files is displayed.

   • The right pane contains the list of files included in the selected changelist.

     

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