Refresh the statuses of project files

CLion provides two refresh modes for statuses of files under Perforce control.

  • Standard Refresh takes into consideration only the changes made through the CLion integration with Perforce. This improves performance as it does not require connecting to the server. However, this approach does not let you know about the changes made outside CLion, for example, right through the p4v client application.

  • Force Refresh considers all the changes made to project, both from CLion and from any other application, for example, right through p4v client.

  1. Open the Commit tool window Alt+0.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To run Standard Refresh, click the Refresh toolbar button or press Ctrl+F5.

    • To run Force Refresh, click the Force Refresh toolbar button the Refresh button.
