4. Web Service SQL Server Version
Application backend Control Proxy
Communication via Scalable Network-near cache
HTTP(S) for versioned artifacts
Manageable
Runs on IIS

17. Server Workspaces
Local Workspaces

21. Check-in Lock Check-out Lock
Less restrictive Prevents any changes from being made
by others
A check-in lock is less restrictive than a
check-out lock. Only applies to server workspaces
Other users can make local changes, but Can be applied to files with no pending
not check in changes anywhere

Lock Lock and unlock folders or files
Revise other user's changes Edit the comments on checked-in files, even if another user checked in the file
Unlock other user's changes Unlock files locked by other users
Undo other user's changes Undo a pending change made by another user
Administer labels Edit or delete labels created by another user
Manage permissions Manage other users' permissions for folders and files in version control
Check in other user's Check in changes that were made by other users. Pending changes will be committed at check-in
changes
Merge For a given path can merge changes into this path
Manage branch For a given path can convert any folder under that path into a branch. Can also edit properties, re-parent,
and convert a branch to a folder
