Getting a local copy of a file version
You can retrieve a local copy of any version of a file. This means you can view all the different versions of a file at different points in time. For instance, you could compare different versions of a chart by getting local copies of the versions you want to compare.
Steps:
- Start ArcMap.
-
If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.
A tree view of the product library appears.

Right-click Product Library, a solution, product class, series, product, instance, or area of interest, then click Manage Files.
The file manager appears.

-
Right-click the version you want to save as a local copy and click Get Local Copy.
The Get Local Copy dialog box appears.
