# Attach and detach Perforce jobs to changelists The Perforce integration with CLion provides you with a user interface for attaching and detaching Perforce [jobs](http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.081/manuals/cmdref/jobs.html) to changelists. Note that the integration does not support creation of Perforce jobs. To get access to working with Perforce jobs, select the Enable Perforce Jobs Support checkbox on the [Perforce](settings-version-control-perforce.html) page of the [Settings](null) dialog. From this topic you will learn how to: * Attach jobs to changelists: * [At any stage](#local) of your work from the Commit window . * [During commit](#commit) from the Commit Changes dialog. * Find the desired job to attach to a changelist using: * The [standard search](#standardSearch) functionality, which enables you to specify numerous search criteria and thus to flexibly configure the search procedure. * The [quick search](#quickSearch) functionality, which enables you to have the found job linked to the changelist automatically. * [Detach](#detach) jobs from changelists. > **Tip:** > Quick search is helpful when you need to attach only one job to a changelist and you either know the exact name of the desired job or at least can specify a search pattern for the name. Procedure: To find and link a job at any stage of your work 1. Open the Commit tool window (`Alt+0` (Windows), `⌘ 0` (macOS), `⌘ 0` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ 0` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Alt+0` (XWin), `Alt+0` (GNOME), `Alt+0` (KDE), `Alt+0` (Emacs), `Alt+0` (Sublime Text), `⌘ 0` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `⌘ 0` (Xcode), `Alt+0` (Visual Studio), `Alt+0` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Alt+0` (ReSharper), `Alt+0` (ReSharper (macOS)), `Alt+0` (QtCreator), `⌘ 0` (QtCreator (macOS)), `Alt+0` (NetBeans), `Alt+0` (Eclipse), `⌘ 0` (Eclipse (macOS)) ) . 2.
