Refreshing file status

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

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

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

  1. Open the Version Control tool window Alt+9 and switch to the Local Changes tab.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • To run Standard Refresh, click the Refresh toolbar button icons actions refresh or press Ctrl+F5.

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