The VCS Integration feature works with all of the packages and IS elements displayed in the Navigation panel or the Package Navigator view.

The elements in a package are in turn supported by various files maintained within the Integration Server instance directory structure. However, Designer modify the content of these files based on the work you do in Designer. You do not work with these files directly.

Prior to the release of the VCS Integration feature, users who wanted to maintain these files in a version control system had to locate them in the Integration Server instance directory structure and manually check them in to and out of the VCS repository. The VCS Integration feature enables you to check in and check out packages and elements directly from within Designer; the underlying files are automatically checked in and out of the VCS repository for you.

Package files that do not appear in the Navigation panel are not subject to the VCS Integration feature. For a full description of supported and unsupported package files, see Package Contents and Interaction with the VCS Integration Feature, below.
