    The version control system allows for full control of all changes made to files in the SiteBuilder file structure. All versions of a file that have been committed to the repository are saved and can be viewed. It is also possible to revert to an earlier version of a file by simply clicking a button.

    When files have been modified, one way or another, various symbols will be shown beside the file type symbol. The symbol in the first column represents the user's edit area, while the second represents the file committed to the repository.

    The significance of each of these can be interpreted somewhat differently depending on which column the symbol is shown in, and if it is shown in normal or undelete mode. See descriptions below.

    The file is created but has not been committed to the repository.
    First column: The file is copied to the user's edit area, but no changes have been saved.
    Second column: The file in the repository has not been changed since it was copied to your edit area.
    First column: The file has been modified and the changes have been saved in your edit area.
    Second column: Another user has committed changes of the file to the repository. This indicates a possible conflict and an update will be necessary before the file can be committed.
    First column: The file has been removed but not committed. After being committed the file will only be seen in undelete mode.
    Second column: Another user has removed the file from the workarea and has committed the action to the repository.
