Source Control products allow you to control access to and store a history of individual files and projects. By integrating with Source Control, Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle users can collaborate in a team environment, with different users working on different parts of the project or even on individual Topics.

Through a Source Control products version history, a full history of project modifications is stored. This allows you to retrieve a previous version of a Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle project, roll the project back to a point in time, and maintain a full audit of modifications made.

There are several standard Source Control actions you can perform on the elements of a Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle project that is under Source Control.

• Check Out
  Checking Out a Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle project item from Source Control gives you a local editable copy to work on. When you have finished making changes, you Check In the project item to Source Control to commit your changes. While you have a particular project item Checked Out, no other user can make changes to it.
• Check In
  Checking In a Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle project item to Source Control commits any changes you made since Checking Out. Once you have Checked In a project item, it is no longer editable and is available for other users to Check Out.
• Undo Check Out
  Undo Check Out rolls back any changes you made since the last Check Out. Once you have completed an Undo Check Out on a project item, it is no longer editable and is available for other users to Check Out.
• Get Latest Version
  Get Latest Version updates for your local Document! X and HelpStudio Bundle project files with the latest versions from Source Control. Get Latest Version ensures you are up-to-date with any changes other users might have made to the project.

2. Several members can work on different Topics at the same time.
3. A technical writer can be reviewing Topics while other Topics are still being worked on.
