perforce

Greetings We run perforce with several users. Each user has their own development website that shows files in their workspace. This is great for making and viewing changes to webpages before submitting them.

Sometime ago, we deleted a few pages in Perforce. I would like to revive these pages, but not to make them visible on our live site. I want to view them in my workspace and on my dev site, but I do want to push them out to our live server.

In the "depot" tab of my P4 client, I can see the deleted files. I cannot see them in the "Workspace" tab of my client.

How can I revive them for use in my Workspace, but not make them live to the world?

I'm not a P4 admin so I could use a little guidance.

Thanks for any help,
