Getting Copies of Items

Purpose

Get a copy of an item revision so you can view it without checking it out. When you get a copy of an item revision, Dimensions CM leaves the revision in its current state (checked in or checked out) and creates a read-only copy in your work area.

You can also add an entire folder in the form of a directory item. When you get a copy of a directory item, the subdirectories and items contained within it are expanded and copied to their relative locations in your work area.
