Navigating PEN PEN uses color coding to
indicate file status
◦ BLACK – the file/directory resides both on your local computer and in the warehouse
◦ BLUE – the file/directory is on your local computer but not in the warehouse. Upload a blue file to make it turn black
◦ Grey - the file/directory is in the warehouse but not on your local computer. Download the file to make it turn black
◦ Red - the file/directory resides both on your local computer and in the warehouse but they have different checksums. The files may be different.
If you forget….
Downloading filesIf a file is grey, you can
download it by right-clicking on the filename and selecting
“Download”
If a directory contains grey files, you can download all of the files by performing the download at the directory
level
The same can be done at a higher level. A project-level download is shown below.
This will download all of the files for the entire project.

level
Uploading filesUploaded files will turn black
If the uploaded file turns red instead of black, make sure a local checksum is being performed prior to
upload under the Tools/Preferences menu
Checksumming a red file will make it turn black provided the local file matches the file in the Project
