To perform a Get, select the relevant object(s) in Version Manager and select Action/Get... from the main menu. The Get Files dialog box will be displayed:

The Get Files dialog box is the same as the one used during the Check Out process, but only options relevant to doing a refresh will be enabled.
Revision – Enter a specific revision of the files to refresh. Generally, unless you were getting a single file, it would not make sense to specify a revision.
Version – Select an existing Version Label to get that particular Version of the files.
Check out to – Enter the root directory to get these files to. If this option is disabled, it normally means that the files you are getting do not have a common root directory.
Overwrite writable files – If this option is checked, any local files that are writable will be overwritten with the read-only copy being refreshed. If you check this option you should be aware that, when getting files, Team Coherence does not check the lock status of the files.
Leave the workfile Writable - If this option is checked, the local file will be made writable after the get has been performed. This option is not recommended since the local file can be modified without checking the file out first.
Ignore Locked Files - If checked, TC will not attempt to get files that are already checked out to you.

Assign Version during check out – During the process of getting files, you have the option of assigning a new Version Label to the revision of each file that is refreshed.
Check out by Date - Entering a date here overrides the Revision and Version fields in the General tab. If set, only the latest versions of the files checked in on or before this date will be retrieved. Useful to get a copy of the source for a specific day when you can't use a Version Label.
When you press the OK button, the selected files will be refreshed. The actual revision of the files that is refreshed will be based on the criteria you entered in this dialog.
