Version Control overview

You can connect Design Center to a Version Control System (VCS). This enables you to check in/out Design Center files directly from the Design Center GUI. Currently Design Center only supports connection to CVS. If you are using another VCS (StarTeam, ClearCase, etc.), you must use external tools to check in/out the Design Center files.

To be able to use version control for Design Center files, you must know how to set up your VCS environment. This is not described in this section, this section describes the following tasks:

•	Creating VCS connections

•	Connecting to the VCS

•	Adding new files to the VCS

•	Checking in files

•	Checking out files

•	Locking and unlocking Project nodes

•	Creating a release
