I was writing a little script for bank generation automation, , when using the `project.build` call, it checks out most of the project’s meta data. When I revert unchanged files, most of those meta data gets reverted. The next time I save, it looks like FMOD was going through every event in the project and doing a writing data to disk call.

Does anyone know why this happens? Would really appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

Did some more digging, looks like

` Project.build`

triggers the check no matter what, is there a way to bypass it? For a large project it will take a couple mins to wait for the process to finish.

I’m not able to replicate this on my machine. A source control project that I can confirm is the latest revision doesn’t check anything out when building via the File menu or the `studio.project.build()` command.

Can you confirm you’re on the latest revision of your project? If you try to commit the project without building does it do the same file reverting? You should see a “no pending changes” message when you try to commit.
