Save to 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

Saving files to the server overwrites the metadata components in your organization with the definition in your project files, then refreshes the local files you saved with new copies from your organization. You can save individual files, or all the files in your project.

To save changes in your project:
  • Click the Save icon, or right-click the src node in the Package Explorer and choose Force.com | Save to Server. This saves all the files in your project to the server.
To save an individual file:
  • Select a component in the Package Explorer and choose Force.com | Save to Server. This saves only the specified file to the server.

If the metadata components on the server have changed since your last save or refresh and a conflict is detected, you may be asked to enter the Synchronize with Server view.
