Create branch/label/tag wizard

This wizard allows you to create tag, label or branch.

Tag is a special mark that defines certain database state. (It is a marks for all files of the database repository in the specified branch)

Label is a special mark that defines certain database state. With the label a backup copy of the database is created. Label provides database state for creating database branch/copy.

Branch is an independent direction of database development. It is a database copy which can be modified with no effect on the original database (database in head branch). Objects in different branches are identical before branching point and divergent after it. Label is always created with branch. (This branch is for all files of DB repository in VCS plus copy of the original database)

To launch the wizard use the Change Management | Create Branch/Label/Tag item of the host or database context menu. Alternatively you can use the Tools | Change Management | Create Branch/Label/Tag item of the main menu.
