Version control vs file versioning

A versioning workflow is based on incremental file versions (v001, v002) and metadata, which are both managed by Anchorpoint. The benefit is that you get a structured workflow, including a publishing process similar to those used in animation or VFX pipelines. However, this workflow is not compatible with a game engine, as it does not understand incremental file versioning.

Git's version control system tracks all file changes and pushes them to a central repository. A server is required as a source of truth. This type of system is required by game engines.
