Hi @AnushkaGupta ,
I was inquiring regarding Branching in Config Management which is connected to the applications built in vDesigner 2.0.

I found the following information
Features:

  1. Version Control: Configuration Management systems provide version control capabilities, allowing teams to track changes made to configuration files over time. This enables comparison of configurations, and tracking of changes made by different team members.

  2. Consistency: Config Management ensures consistency across different environments, such as development, testing, and production. Configurations can be defined and applied consistently, minimizing configuration drift and ensuring smooth deployments.

  3. Auditing: Config Management provides auditing capabilities, allowing organizations to track changes and maintain an audit trail of configuration modifications.

Limitations:

  1. Limited number of branches permitted:
    Config Management allows a maximum of 11 branches to exist. This limits possibility for multiple changes to be done parallely.

  2. Merge Conflicts:
    When multiple developers make changes to the same page, conflicts may arise during the merge process.
