Version Control¶
Navigator creates and lists Checkpoints. The goal with Checkpoints is to provide historical versions for any change to the contents of a file that is done when you use Navigator.
Checkpoint on Upload¶
A Checkpoint is created for each individual file when they are uploaded. This way there is a restore point if the file was changed in some undesirable way. When you upload files you can enter a description that will be added to all the generated checkpoints.
Checkpoint on Rename, Move, and Copy¶
Checkpoints are created automatically for the destinations of Rename, Move, and Copy operations.
For Rename and Move the description states which source was used to replace the file contents.
For Copy the description states where the file was copied from.
Delete¶
Deleting a file physically removes the head revision and all associated checkpoints from the server.
Deleting a folder deletes files in the same manner: the file head revisions in the folder are deleted and their associated checkpoints.
The Delete command physically deletes items and is not able to be undone.
