Saving Modified Files Only

Generally, the Save to PLM process performs the operation on all the editable files within the structure of current file and transfers all these editable files to PLM. However, it is possible that one or more files within the structure of the current file are unchanged even though they are editable; therefore, it is not required to save them into PLM. To save only the modified files, enable the Save only modified files integration preference. The Save only modified files preference is made available in the Save Changes to PLM property.Save changes to PLM

You can also enable or disable the Save only modified files from the add-in toolbar.add in toolbar

For Example,

In the following structure:PLM code a

Assume that all files A1, SA1, SA2, P1, P2, P3 and P4 are new. Normally, when you perform Save to PLM for assembly A1, all the files are saved to PLM.

Now, assume that you have made changes to MA, SA1 and P1 files in the A1 assembly:PLM code b

When you perform the Save to PLM operation on the above file structure, not only the changed files, even the unmodified files are also saved to PLM. However when you enable the Save only modified files preference, only MA, SA1 and P1 files of the A1 assembly are saved to PLM.
