Component Versions

When you create a component, you can select the Import Versions Automatically option. If you do so, component versions are imported and the version assigned automatically. If you do not select that option, you must manually import the files and assign the versions.

Each time a component's artifacts are imported into the repository, including the first time, the component is versioned. Versions can be assigned automatically by Deployment Automation, applied manually, or come from a build server. Every time a component's artifacts are modified and reimported, a new version of the component is created. So a component might have several versions in CodeStation and each version will be unique.

A version can be full or incremental. A full version contains all component artifacts; an incremental version only contains artifacts modified since the previous version was created.
