Versioned Asset Management

When the Model repository is integrated with a version control system, you can manage versions of assets. For example, you can check out and check in assets, undo checkouts, and view assets that you have checked out.

You can perform the following actions:

Check out an asset.: When you check out an asset, it maintains a checked-out state until you check it in or undo the checkout. You can view assets that you have checked out in the
My Checked Out Assets
view. To check out an asset, right-click the asset in the Object Library and select Check Out.
Undo the checkout of an asset.: When you undo a checkout, you check in the asset without changes and without incrementing the version number or version history. All changes that you made to the asset after you checked it out are lost. To undo a checkout, you can use the
My Checked Out Assets
view.
Check in an asset.: When you check in an asset, the version control system updates the version history and increments the version number. You can add check-in comments up to a 4 KB limit. To check in an asset, use the
My Checked Out Assets
view or the object right-click menu.
Delete an asset.: A versioned asset must be checked out before you can delete it. If it is not checked out when you perform the delete action, the Model repository checks the asset out to you and marks it for delete. To complete the delete action, you must check in the asset.

When you delete a versioned asset, the version control system deletes all versions.

To delete an asset, you can use the
My Checked Out Assets
view.
