03/23/2021, 5:07 PMMakes sense, the help was pretty vague on it, I've been just managing everything using Git myself and just copying in new versions. Might be moving that way. Thanks!

03/23/2021, 5:55 PMThat's what I was thinking, that's similar how I'm handling with Git so that'll work perfectly. Thanks for the pointers!
