Register As Versioned

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

Summary

Registers ArcSDE dataset as versioned.

Usage

  • Versioning tools only work with datasets in an ArcSDE geodatabase. File and Personal geodatabases don't support versioning.

  • Registering a feature dataset as versioned registers all feature classes within the feature dataset as versioned.

  • Versions are not affected by changes occurring in other versions of the geodatabase.
