Use Version Control

The following topics describe the most common activities using the version control features of Enterprise Architect, accessed through the Package Version Control Menu:

• Configure Controlled Package
• Use Existing Configuration
• Validate Package Configurations (Project | Version Control menu)
• Check In and Check out Packages
• Include Other Users Packages

• Apply Version Control to Branches
• Export Controlled Model Branch
• Import Controlled Model Branch

• Review Package History
• Refresh View of Shared Project

General Notes

• The export/import facility is not fast and submitting packages containing many sub-nodes to version control should be avoided. It is recommended version control is applied to individual packages. See the Version Control Nested Packages topic for more information.
• Replication should not be combined with version controlled packages.
• Sparx Systems strongly urge you not to manipulate version controlled package files outside of Enterprise Architect. It is possible to leave the package files in a state that Enterprise Architect cannot recognize.
