Lore Version Control For UEFN

Lore is a next-gen, open source version control tool maintained by Epic games, and it powers UEFN's in-editor version control system.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) integrates version control as an important part of project management, team processes, and quality control. It maintains a single source of truth for the project and developers.

Enabling Lore in team projects facilitates collaboration between team members, keeps work from getting lost, and speeds up an island’s release by shortening production time. Incorporating project synchronization in daily iteration takes a little work, but is well worth the effort in the end.

For more information on version control with Lore, see Lore.org.

How Lore Works

Lore  is available out of the box for all new islands in UEFN. It works by incrementally saving the state of the island and its assets at various points in time. These incremental save points are called “revisions”.
