Downloading the latest revision of a programme

At any point, you can download the latest revision of a programme to your computer. You may want to do this to view a programme in detail. You normally use Asta Powerproject to download programmes, but you can also download programmes using the Asta Vision website, as described below.

If you want to make changes to a programme, do not download it; check it out instead.

Downloading a programme differs from checking out a programme as follows:

Downloading	Checking out
Other users are able to check out the programme and make changes to it.	Other users are unable to check out the programme until you have checked it in.
You cannot upload any changes that you make to the programme.	Any changes that you make to the programme are uploaded when you check in the programme.

If you use global libraries in Asta Vision, a warning appears when you download a revision of a programme, informing you that the global library file may be out of date.

To download the latest revision of a programme:

From the Asta Vision Home page, click Projects. The Projects page appears.
Click the name of the project whose programme you want to download. The Project page appears.
Click the appropriate programme type hyperlink at the top of the page to view the tab of the programme you want to download.
Click Download Latest on the programme's tab. The latest revision of the programme is downloaded to your computer.
