Version Control

Stores Versions of parts of a Repository for Comparison and Rollback

Version Control provides a mechanism to store previous versions of any section of a model and later compared to a current state. Version Control is a powerful team feature that allows models to be developed in a coordinated way within a team environment.   Sections of the model can be placed under Version Control  and  you can manage changes to and revisions of your model content by placing individual model Packages, view nodes or root nodes under Version Control. The information stored within the repository are valuable corporate assets and need to be managed as such.
