A Managed Project is accessed from the Altium Designer Explorer, Projects or Storage Manager panels. Projects are managed through the server browser interface or Explorer panel, and can be accessed directly from Altium Designer, based on a user's server login credentials.

An Altium managed content server hosting advanced Managed ProjectsĪ managed content server and its internal VCS service host Managed Projects, which offer simplified VCS operations, inherent design collaboration capabilities and Lifecycle management.

► See Version Control and Design Repositories and Using Version Control for more information. SVN type repositories may be created from within Altium Designer. Altium Designer works directly with its internal VCS application, minimizing the need for user intervention and setup. The VCS applications that are built in to Altium Designer (Subversion and Git) are accessed through the Projects and Storage Manager panels.

Internal VCS, managed in Altium Designer.

► See Version Control and Design Repositories for more information.

A designer must leave the editing environment to perform VCS operations with a separate, client application.

External VCS, managed outside Altium DesignerĪn installed Version Control System (VCS) such as Subversion (SVN) or Git that is managed independently of Altium Designer by a client application such as the Tortoise interface.

The VCS-based project and design document management options that are available can be summarized as follows, ordered by increasing capabilities: In their most advanced form, both the management of design data and generation of output data are centered on the capabilities of an Altium managed content server. The Altium Designer integration with Version Control systems (VCS) provides the primary mechanism for robust management of design data, while its tightly managed generation of Output files forms the basis for sophisticated design data release mechanisms. To meet these needs, Altium Designer provides a range of project management approaches that offer increasing levels of sophistication and capabilities, yet simplify the process from a designer's perspective. In a nutshell, Project Management is focused on securely storing and tracking changes throughout the design process, and ultimately, channeling the resulting design through to the creation of a physical item – such as an assembled PCB to be used in the final product.
