Viewing version identifiers
You can view simple or full version identifiers for files that are stored in Engineering Workflow Management source control. The simple version is a numeric string that uniquely identifies a file version within a repository. The full version uniquely identifies a file version across all repositories. The full version is useful in a distributed source control environment where users make parallel changes to the same file in multiple repositories. In this environment, versions of the same file in different repositories can be assigned with the same simple version ID but the full version ID is always unique.
