Notes:
- When you first open an Enterprise Architect project that was created by another user and that uses version control, the Version Control Configuration(s) used by that project do not yet exist in your Windows registry settings. You must complete the definitions of those configurations before you can use version control in that project
- It is important that for any given version controlled package file, all access of that file from any model and by any user, is done using Version Control Configurations having the same UniqueID
- If Project Security is enabled, you must have Configure Version Control permission to set up version control options for the current model
- It is possible to use multiple version control configurations in the same Enterprise Architect model
