Built in Version control of Catalog objects (GIT, SVN, BitBucket, etc..)

Description

Like any modern application which contains code, it will be great if the OAC catalog incorporates a Version control system like GIT, SVN, etc. At the moment if one author makes a change to a report inadvertently, there is no easy way to see past changes to a report.

I the current OAC version, if an Author changes something and saves a report, the owner of the report does not show who saved the report last. It updates the timestamp but not the owner. This loses traceability and control if there are multiple BI Authors who use the system in a Power User/Citizen Developer/ self-service manner.

Glad to see this idea is already submitted. Having version control on data sets, data flows, projects, etc., would enable users to revert back to previous versions in the event of accidental mistakes.

Must needed feature.

Yes Please, I agree this is needed 100%!  Even some basic versioning options would be a start in the right direction.  More elaborate versioning tool options that are built-in would be so beneficial for the many users that access and update objects on a regular basis and would greatly assist with troubleshooting.

I voted. Great idea and feature request.

Many times happened with us. People saved by mistake and revert back is painful.

Version control make sense. Must needed feature.
