Being the sole web developer here has it's perks. However, we recently added another web designer and now we need some sort of version control on the pages ot make sure we aren't stepping on each others toes.

Is there a system in place in CF, CF Server, Admin, etc. to set up this sort of version control? Basically, a way to check out files or flag them?

Thank you.

Coldfusion is not really designed for large applications or to be used by
teams - hence no source control.

Dreamweaver check in / Check out is not source control - it's file access
control, and very limited at that. (Eg; even the access control is useless
in that you could ftp or use windows explorer to completely byapss it) It
certainly doesn't support versioning.

Coldfusion doesn't supply source control.

The most common OS source control systems are CVS and Subversion.

CVS is simple enough to use. There are clients that integrate with Windows explorer like Tortoise CVS, but both can also be used through Eclipse.

If your using dreamweaver, it has a check in/out system. Never really used it to see how well it works tho.
