About GoLive version control
GoLive lets you create a version control workspace in a folder on the local hard drive or on an FTP server, without
using third-party version control software. You can define any folder on your computer or on an FTP server as a
version control workspace to which you and co-workers can check files in and out.
GoLive version control lets you check files in and out, view and track versions of files and revert to previous versions,
and synchronize local files against those in the version control system. By default, files that you check in are read­
only, and you can check out only one file at a time. If you try to edit a file that is part of a version controlled project,
GoLive prompts you to check out the file. The Version Status column in the Files tab of the site window displays the
versioning state of all files.
Note: For a full set of version control features, use Adobe Version Cue.
The GoLive version control workflow
Before you can use version control features in GoLive, you must create a version control workspace and check files
in to the workspace. Once you've done so, you can check out files and check them back in, synchronize the site with
the version control workspace, and compare and revert to different versions of version controlled files.
To create a GoLive version control workspace for an existing site
Open the site for which you want to create a version control workspace.
