Version control sites

About version control
Workgroups can use version control to manage files and ensure that only one person at a time is working on a file.
You can also use version control for a single-user site if, for example, you want the ability to revert to previous
versions of your site. When you connect to a project that employs version control, you can check out or check in the
target files. When you check out a file, the version control system marks it as being used and locks it from other users
so they can't edit it. When you check in a file, you save changes to the master file and unlock it so that other users
may access it.
GoLive supports Version Cue and CVS version control systems. In addition, GoLive offers its own set of version
control features that you can use to work with files in a versioning repository on your local hard drive or on an FTP
server.
To connect to a version-controlled project on an HTTP or FTP server
Choose File > New.
