Solution Explorer Source Control

[!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull] Solution Explorer can be integrated into a separate source control system. Once a solution or project is integrated into a source control system, you can control file access and versioning for the scripts and queries in your projects.

Solution and Project Source Control

Important

[!INCLUDEssNoteDepFutureAvoid]

Source control refers to a system in which a central piece of server software stores and tracks file versions, and also controls access to files. A typical source control system includes a source control provider and two or more source control clients. [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull] can be integrated with a source control service. This means you can use the tool as a client for your source control provider. Without leaving the environment, you can manage your individual and team projects easily. The source control provider is not included with [!INCLUDEssManStudio].

To select a source control provider

  1. Install the client portion of your source control provider.

  2. In [!INCLUDEssManStudio], on the Tools menu, click Options.

  3. In the Options dialog box, expand Source Control, and then click the Plug-in Selection page.

  4. In the Current source control plug-in box, select the source control plug-in.
