      - The VersionVault integration with Cadence cellview editors
        The HCL VersionVault integration with Cadence schematic, layout, and other such design editors is referred to as cellview editors (CVEs). Version information, which is displayed on the cellview editor's title bar, includes the current design management (DM) state and the version of the design artifacts that are loaded in the work area.
      - The schematic diff tool
        With the schematic diff tool, designers can graphically browse and review changes that are made in versions of the same schematic design.
      - The Hierarchy Manager
        The Hierarchy Manager is similar to the Work Area Manager in certain graphical user interface (GUI) respects but the Hierarchy Manager presents a list of cellviews that constitute a design hierarchy.
      - Logs and traces
        Apart from the Cadence logging in CDS.log and libManager.log files, you can set the following environment variables to control the output and to enable tracing and logging for the integration.
      - VersionVault preferences store for cellview editors
        Designers can set VersionVault preferences for cellview editors. Once set, these preferences remain persistent.
      - Graphical design management API
        To graphically carry out common design management operations, you can use the application program interface (API) that is available in the VersionVault-Cadence integration.
