SOX allows you to save projects in different versions. This means SOX freezes the project in its current
state and marks it with a timestamp. These are mainly intended for comparison purposes.

Each project starts at a branch called "Main". Branching means you diverge from the "Main" line of
development and continue without interfering with that main line. A green decorator behind the project
name shows on which branch the project currently is

, and which timestamp the version or project has

Open

(Use the register "Team" on the SOX preferences dialog for activating or deactivating these decorators).

If you open the project directory, you will see the branching directory which contains all created
versions. Furthermore, you can switch between versions with a double click on the relevant one, or
using the "Select branch\version" dialog which can be opened by making a right-click on the project
or branch directory and choosing Team > Switch to head or version.
