This page is about the Esri ArcGIS Enterprise "Branch Versioning".

As usual there are only a few free resources because this is a relatively new thing and Esri wants you to pay for training. Nonetheless, I persist.

I am not going to explain what it is here because that's described elsewhere. This page is my notes made while experimenting. See the resources section below for detailed information.

Versioning

You can set a feature dataset or a feature class to use either traditional or branch versioning, in the same geodatabase.

History grows forevermore, there is no way to remove it "at this time." This sounds bad to me. :-) But storage space is cheap, right?

Resources

In the Esri training site there is one 62 minute video called "Version Management with ArcGIS" that you can watch that gives a pretty good overview at the start then dives in way too deep (I stopped watching).
