    Converting server projects to local project

    You can convert a Server project to local project, even if the CloverDX Server is unavailable. The conversion to local project is available only to Server projects that have local copy (Synchronized Server projects, the default type).

    In the Project Explorer, right click the project name and choose Convert to Local project.

    If the Server project contains placeholder files, the content of the placeholder files is downloaded. The files excluded from synchronization are not downloaded.

    Remote-only Server projects

    If you have a Server project with remote files only, create a Server project that has a local copy (Synchronized Server project) using the same Server sandbox. Then convert the Server project to local project.
