Defining Version Control Preferences for Altium Designer
This document is no longer available beyond version 21. Information can now be found here: Data Management - Version Control Preferences for version 25
The Data Management - Version Control page of the Preferences dialog
Summary
The Data Management – Version Control page of the Preferences dialog allows you to set up version control options. SVN - Subversion is built-in and is, therefore, installed by default. This extension delivers the implementation of version control functionality through the use of SharpSVN. This implementation has full support for Unicode (multi-byte) characters in file names. As an example, this allows you to add files to your SVN VCS repository that include Russian characters in their names.
Access
The Data Management – Version Control page is part of the main Preferences dialog that is accessed by clicking the 
control in the upper-right corner of the design space then selecting the Version Control entry under the Data Management folder.
Options/Controls
- Provider - lists the version control providers available.
- Enabled - check to enable SVN - Subversion to enable the default provider.
- Choose the SVN Version format for your local working copy when checking out new projects from all design repositories - select the desired SVN version working copy format.
