Version Control

How do I do version control with file I have brought into a master file - and version control the master file? SO that I can keep copies of the project and be able to refer to the changes?

RE: Version Control

Hi Graham,

Thank you for your question.

When you create a master file and save the source projects and master the files are linked.

If you rename or move the source files from their original location and make changes to them, when you open the master and try and expand the embedded projects the links box appears telling you that the file was not found. You can then select the task and choose browse to renew the link.

I have tried this and it seems to work. Alternatively there is the following add-in software you could try:

Try the links box and browsing to re-associate the link the files and tell me how you get on.

Regards

Simon
