As published

Latest data
Retrieves data by comparing the information in the database with the published XML file, then updates the objects that were originally published.
CDW data
Retrieves the data by updating the property values contained in a published XML file with those contained on the corresponding CDW object.
CDW must be enabled to use this option.
To apply a Retrieve option to multiple documents, point to the cell that you want to select, then click and

necessary, to ensure that the applicable information is updated.
