Does p4v indicate somewhere that there is content to be fetched or alternatively, a way to preview what would be fetched (Outside of manually comparing history against the remote depot)?

Edit: I should have mentioned I'm using DVCS.

    There's [a bunch of status icons](https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4v/#P4V/using.icons.html%3FTocPath%3DUsing%2520P4V%7C_____5). Do any of those fit the bill? – Robert Harvey Aug 22 '18 at 20:17

    I'm using DVCS so unfortunately I don't believe they apply in this situation. – bfraser Aug 22 '18 at 22:50

If you're working directly against a shared server, the UI automatically refreshes with file badges that show you whether there are new revisions you can sync, and there's a dashboard view that'll show you that information at the global changelist level.

If you're using the DVCS mode, the UI support is a little more bare-bones and generally operates against your local server in isolation. You might want to use the p4 fetch -n command from the terminal, which will tell you whether you're up to date and whether there are any conflicts with the remote server.

    Thanks, p4 fetch -n is the command line equivalent to one of the options I'm looking for in p4v (I am using DVCS mode). Do you know if there is a GUI equivalent? – bfraser Aug 22 '18 at 22:52
  • I doubt it -- my understanding is that the GUI support for p4 DVCS is pretty minimal. – Samwise Aug 23 '18 at 17:52
  • Alright, I'll make do with the command line for this for now. Thanks. – bfraser Aug 23 '18 at 18:42
