At whichever stage the development of an application could be, there is always a need for changes to be made to make it better that are influenced and affected by multiple factors. No matter how many changes take place in the life cycle of a project, Salesforce Version Control will not allow the changes to have a negative impact on the outcome by allowing the development teams to revert back to the previous version of the project when required.
Even spread sheets and word processors have an embedded version control functionality which is why we can do multiple edits. In a way, Salesforce Version Control plays a crucial part in Content Management Systems of various kinds. If there is a file that is being shared across multiple divisions, then there is all the scope of many revisions made by each one respectively at their own end. Earlier, when revisions were made, there was no track of who did what change and at what time. So, if there was anything that went wrong in the attempt to enhance a certain feature, there was no one to be held accountable. This is largely reduced when the advanced version control applications are adopted in the recent years which will have a tracking system in-built and all the participated contributors will have their activities stored and displayed to everybody who are sharing the file in the cloud. It is also possible to revert to the older version if need be at any point of the development cycle.
In simple terms, the name version control speaks for itself as it gives control over the revisions that take place across the departments. It does not allow the development to go out of control where nobody knows what changes the other person has done on the files and is clueless whether to tamper with the present version or not. The copies of the files on which arbitrary edits are made is the Working Copy. These modifications do not impact other developer’s work unless they are committed to the Version Control repository. This saving of files on the Salesforce Version Control repository is called as committing in the working language.
Of all the version control applications available in the market, most of them allow different developers to make changes to the same file at the same time. But only the first one to commit will succeed in saving their edits as these systems merge the changes from other developers in the central version control repository preserving the changes from only the first commit. However, a distributed Salesforce VC system is different from the rest. It is faster when compared to the traditional centralized model as it does not need to interact with the central server.
