Users with access to the administration tool can access administration functions that affect their Explorer view.

Latest Version Option

When you open a file in Explorer, Enterprise PDM opens your local copy of the file without checking to see whether a more recent version is available in the archive. You can change your settings so that each time you open a file in Enterprise PDM, you use the latest version from your network.

To set the latest version option:

  1. Select the Explorer tab from the user settings.

  2. Under Miscellaneous, select Always work with latest version of files.

When this option is enabled, the options Get Latest Version and Get Version are not displayed when you right-click a file. To open an earlier version, see Versions and Revisions.
