Altium 365’s version control system is optimized for hardware development teams. You don’t need to manage repositories or decipher a textual diff to understand what changed in your projects.
Full Traceability
and Transparency
and Transparency
Know who made changes to the project, when, and why. Quickly identify what changed with a visual diff designed for hardware and revert to a previous version if needed.
Key Capabilities
ECAD Connectivity
Manage all your ECAD files and Bill of Materials in Altium 365. We support Altium Designer®, OrCAD®, KiCad®, and EAGLE® files with PADS® files coming soon!
Track Hardware Changes
With a complete history of changes, you can see all the project commits and releases. Version control for electronics provides detailed information on the changes introduced with each iteration.
Visual Comparison
Compare your Schematic, PCB, Gerber, or BOM files with ease. The powerful visual diff highlights changes quickly, allowing you to compare existing commits and releases or your local, not yet committed, files to previously committed design versions.
Design Reuse
Build reusable circuits (with both logical and physical parts), validate them once, and integrate them into future projects. You no longer need to search through previous designs to copy circuitry.
Configurable Lifecycle Management
Define and control how your components, templates, project releases, and other assets are used across the workspace. Confidently release to manufacturing, knowing that your team has been working with approved design items from day one.
FAQ
Engineering data management is the systematic storage and organization of design-related files and revisions throughout a hardware development project’s lifecycle. It ensures engineers and other stakeholders can efficiently track hardware changes, maintain version history, and collaborate securely. Altium 365 integrates engineering data management with hardware version control to streamline workflows, improve traceability, and ensure teams are working from the latest design files.
Version control systems manage changes made to design files over time, such as schematics, layouts, and BOMs. Version control keeps a record of all updates so users know what has changed, who changed it, and when. The most widely used version control system is called Git. It was initially created for software version control, but using a system based on Git for hardware allows engineering teams to track modifications, visually compare versions to see what has changed, and work together more effectively.
Altium 365’s hardware version control system supports a comprehensive range of design data and associated files, including schematics, drawings, component libraries, BOM files, Gerber files, and many more. As a Git-based system, it is capable of version-controlling any file type. The system also provides rich visual diff and viewer support for key design documents that include schematics, BOM files, Gerber files, and more.

“With Altium 365, all communication stays within the project, providing greater transparency, traceability, and accountability of all data."
Founder at Automation Research Group
“Altium 365 doesn’t make you feel like you’re connected to the cloud. You’re still working in a desktop environment with Altium Designer, so workflow isn’t broken and there’s nothing new to learn. Everything you need is just right there and it works.”
