Also features an intelligent administration system so that there are no overlaps during joint configuration. Each element (variable, image, etc.) currently being processed is marked so that no other team member can change the same element at the same time. Offline mode allows for decoupling entire projects from the central computer for editing offline. Also provides modification history.
