This section discusses how to use the ProjectWise functionality available in ArcMap when it is integrated with ProjectWise. This section also includes a description of the ProjectWise toolbar supplied in ArcMap once it is integrated with ProjectWise.

The integration of both applications essentially allows users to:

• Open an ArcMap document directly from ProjectWise Explorer and automatically log into this datasource with the document file fully loaded. This feature requires some basic configuration in ProjectWise Explorer.
• Once in ArcMap, open other ArcMap documents from a ProjectWise datasource.
• Add layers from ProjectWise (rasters, shapefiles, Personal Geodatabases, and CAD files) in the active ArcMap document.
• Create new ArcMap documents and automatically add them in the active ProjectWise datasource.
• Refresh the server copy of the currently opened ArcMap document.
• Export ArcMap documents from ProjectWise to any location on disk and still have all layer datasources resolved correctly.
• Lock, update or check-in to the active datasource the shapefiles and PGDB stored in ProjectWise that may be edited during or after an edit session in ArcMap.
