Download from Version Control Server

Last modified: October 1, 2024

Introduction

Use the Download from Version Control Server menu item to download an app from a version control server (for example, Team Server). If you are currently editing an app, the app will be closed (after prompting to save any changes) and the newly downloaded app will be opened using the current version of Studio Pro.

Download from Version Control Server dialog box

If the downloaded app was created with a different version of Mendix, you will be asked if it can be converted to the current version.

You can also use the Open App Dialog to download and open an app from Team Server. However, you will need to use this option if you want to download a second copy of an app (and development line) you already have on disk.

From Mendix version 9.24.28, either a full or partial clone will be downloaded when using Git, depending on the Clone type set for your app.

Where Is Your App Stored?

If Enable private version control (either for SVN or Git or for both) is set in the app Preferences, you can choose between the Mendix Team Server or a Private server. If it is not enabled, you will only be able to choose an app from the Mendix Team Server.

Mendix Team Server

Use the Team Server App dropdown to choose the app you want to download.

For more information about the Mendix Team Server, see Team Server.

Private Server

Enter the URL of your private SVN server in App repository address and click Connect.

Development Line

Choose the Development line you want to download.

For more information about development lines, see Version Control.

App Directory

Choose the App directory to which want to download the app. The suggested name includes the name of the development line (main or the name of the branch line), but you can change this if you want.
