DW 19.1 - How do I configure Subversion Version Control?

[BestKindBoxer]

I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver 19.1 and the "Version Control" Section under site setup is gone. 

Site > Manage Sites > Edit brings up the Site Setup menu, and "Version Control" used to be the 3rd option from the top.

Version Control

The entire Version Control section is now missing.  How do I setup subversion version control now?  Where is it?  All searches just lead me to out-of-date articles.

Thanks.

The old version control was removed and replaced with GIT.

Dreamweaver: Working with Git Version Control

Thanks for the heads up Nancy, but I am not using Git, and do not have the git client installed on my machine. 

I am trying to set this up with a beanstalkapp.com repo.  I will contact their support team to see what can be done.  Thanks again for the heads up.

Response from beanstalkapp.com:

".. if Adobe has updated the application to only support Git, it's not going to work with the one repo in your Beanstalk account. You'll have to go with one of two choices in that case:

• Keep using the older version of Dreamweaver that supports SVN
• Use a different application that supports Subversion (i.e. Cornerstone)
• Or switch to using Git"

Well, I guess I'm screwed.  Is there really no way to do subversion version control without GIT?

DW CC 2018 and 2019 only support the use of GIT version control.

GIT was introduced in CC 2017 version.   So you need to get a download for 2015 or 2014 versions that still supported the old subversion control.  

Owing to Adobe's  new policy of No more legacy CC apps , that may prove more difficult than it once did.  See link for more details.

Failing that, you'll have to contact customer care and explain to them why you need older versions and hopefully they can provide you with a direct download.

Good luck!

If you are on Windows and you still want to use subversion/don't want to make the switch to GIT you could try this extrension, I don't know if it will work with latest versions of Dreamweaver but you could give it a try :

GitHub - ChrisMcKee/svnweaver: SVNWeaver integrates Adobe Dreamweaver CS+ with TortoiseSVN

It works in conjuction with TortoiseSVN
