Unreal Revision Control Best Practices

Unreal Revision Control is a custom embedded revision control feature in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

Revision control is a way for individuals and teammates or collaborators to store different versions of project files, track changes, keep a primary source file for projects, and even roll back to an earlier project version if necessary.

Revision Control Overview

Revision control is similar to, but not entirely the same as, source control. Source control is concerned with text-based files, revision control is concerned with project and file versions.

Unreal Revision Control is a stable way to track changes made to your project and individual project files. Revision control keeps a history of changes to track who made changes to what file, when the changes were made, and why.

Revision control keeps a record of the checked-in files. By checking in changes made to the project and project assets, you record a history. As long as you and your team consistently and periodically check-in your changes, you’ll have a record that goes all the way back to the first file you created.
