Setting source control enablement feature preferences

This topic explains the preferences you can set to customize your source control enablement feature operations.

To further customize your source control enablement feature operations, you can set preferences by clicking File-Preference-Designer-Source Control. These preferences will be applied to this feature while you use it. These preferences include the following:

• Use Binary DXL for source control operations -- There are different ways to represent the design elements on disk depending on the type of the design element being represented - see the Selecting the way to represent the design elements on disk section for complete details.
• Enable automatic export of the design elements (from NSF to disk) on modification -- This preference is provided to enable implicit export of design elements after they are modified inside NSF by user. If this preference is selected, any edits to the NSF project (for example create/update/delete of a form, XPage, etc) are reflected to the on-disk project implicitly, which you can then commit to the source control repository.
• Enable automatic import of the design elements (from disk to NSF) on modification -- This preference is provided for allowing implicit import of design files from disk to NSF when they are modified in the disk project. This also needs Auto-build to be ON. After setting this preference, if user updates the disk project with the contents from the repository, the changes would get auto-imported inside the NSF.
• Show Helper panel in Set Up wizard - This preference will show a helper panel describing the source control enablement feature when the Team Development-Set Up Source Control for this Application panel is invoked.

Select (check) a preference to enable it or deselect it to disable it
