: Externals (external objects) are not copied to the working directory.

For a description, refer to the section "Dialog 'Select revision'".

Note: The group provides the same options as the Revision dialog.

OK

Checks out the project from the SVN repository, saves it locally to the specified location, and opens it in CODESYS as the primary project.

Note

If files were encrypted when imported to the SVN repository, or if they have been committed, then note the following:

When committing to the SVN repository, the information about an encrypted project file is included. However, the type of encryption is not included (password, Wibu security key, X509 certificate). Therefore, it may be necessary to encrypt the working copy again in the project settings. In this case, a dialog opens when exiting the command to notify you of this. Then you are able to switch directly to the project settings.
