44. Briefcase Blunders Part 3

Let's suppose you mistakenly delete a file from a briefcase. Unfortunately, you can't just right-click the Briefcase, choose Update All, and expect Briefcase to re-create it--at least not without a little help from you. Inside the Update All window, you'll see a Delete message (called an action) next to the sync copy of the file you deleted. Right-click this action and select Create. Click Update, and Briefcase creates a brand new copy of that file to replace the one you deleted. Whew!

(Tip: If the file you deleted was NOT inside a folder on the briefcase, you could also copy the original file into the briefcase, as if you were adding it for the first time.)
