Refresh Your Source Files

To avoid code conflicts in the first place, it's important to keep your source files up-to-date with everybody's changes. Simply refresh your workspace, when notified, to bring in changes that your teammates have published.

Note:

For optimal performance, this functionality takes effect only in workspaces with fewer than 1000 files.

1. When others have published changes that apply to your work, you'll see a notification that your workspace needs to be refreshed:

   Tip:

   The notification to refresh your workspace is an informational message that clears after five seconds. If you missed the notification or want to take action later, look for the message under Notifications in the header. It's helpful to periodically review unread notifications, so you don't miss important information. VB Studio checks for changes in your repository every 10 minutes.
2. Click Refresh in the notification.
   Under the covers, VB Studio does either a Git merge or pull to refresh your workspace with the latest updates. Click Close in the Refresh Workspace dialog.

   If you run into conflicts, click Show Conflicts to go to the Git Panel in Advanced mode and take steps to resolve the conflict. See Resolve Conflicts.
