Parallel Development

Parallel development allows multiple developers to work on the same app without overwriting other developer changes by creating a unique app for every developer.

To enable Parallel Development in Developer Studio you must do the following.

Inside Developer Studio

  1. Right click on the Project and select properties.

  2. In the properties dialog, select Feature Toggles and then check the ParallelDev checkbox.

  3. After clicking ok on both dialogs, you can verify that you have enabled Parallel Development by looking at the Developer Studio title bar which should say "PROJECT NAME (Parallel Development)".
