Version control

There are two ways to manage profiles: "inheritance" and "version control".
Here, we will explain the concept of profile version control.

For information on "inheritance", please refer to the following link. : "Inheritance"

Overview

You can update a profile that you have already created later.
By using the following methods according to the purpose when updating, you can manage the version according to your company's process.

• Overwrite the previous version without leaving the version before the change.
• Create a new version of the profile while leaving the previous version.
  You can also manage to respond to updates to company processes.

You can also continue to use the old version of the profile before it was updated.

Revise the profile

The profile reflects the rules and processes defined for the company.
If the company's process is updated, you can link the process and profile version to manage them.

There are the following ways to change the profile.

1. Create a different version while leaving the previous version.
   
2. Update the current version. For details, see the following link. : "Change basic information of the profile"

Using version control and inheritance together

By combining profile inheritance and version control, you can deploy profile changes to related projects
in a lump.

Since you can also refer to past versions, you can expand the scope of management by switching the profile you are using
depending on the circumstances of the project or each department.
