Proper File Movement/Setup Methodology

We have setup a server dedicated to SVN. I'm currently setting up
trial runs of TortoiseSVN on "client" machines to see how people like/
dislike this method of software development.

When we receive code updates from an outside source, I need to apply
this code to what we already have so we can further modify it. The
file/folder structure is the same. On my local machine...what I did
last time was right click and copy (not under SVN menu) from the
outside source and pasted into the root folder of the SVN project. It
then overwrote all the files. Any files that were unchanged retained
the green check, but any new files needed to be added (no icon) and
any modified files had a (!) in red. I then go through the whole
rendition of adding, committing, and updating (maybe not in that
order).

I know this isn't normal (based on what I've read), but is this an
accepted/preferred method? Hopefully my post made some sense.

Thanks,
