MadCap Central and Source Control

MadCap Central is a cloud-based platform that lets you plan, track, and manage the processes, content, and teams that are at the heart of your organization. 

MadCap Central's integration with MadCap Flare lets you store copies of your projects in Central, continue to work on them locally in Flare, and keep both sets of copies in sync. You can use Central to quickly build and publish output (and roll back when necessary) without the need to involve an IT department. Custom vanity URLs let you produce meaningful paths for your outputs. You can also send topics and snippets for review on Central, as well as use custom checklists to track your progress in Flare projects. 

The MadCap Central window pane in Flare lets you upload (bind) and import projects, as well as push project changes to Central. Additionally, you can see project properties, log in and out of your Central account, and launch the Central portal in your browser. See MadCap Central and Flare.

When you upload a Flare project to Central, the files are connected to Central via an integrated source control system (Git). Your interaction with source control can follow one of two models—single-bound (recommended) or dual-bound.
