Refresh from Server

Force.com IDE is in a maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more information, see The Future of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.

Warning

To refresh projects, folders, or individual items:
  • In the Package Explorer, right-click the item you want to refresh and choose Force.com | Refresh from Server.

Refresh from Server refreshes only the contents specified in the package.xml project manifest file. That is, if a file in your project is removed from package.xml, you no longer receive new versions of that file when performing a Refresh from Server.
