Creating a workspace
To create a workspace in Plastic SCM Unity, you must first download Unity Version Control from the Plastic SCM website and follow the installation wizard's instructions.
Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to choose a workflow type. Unity Version Control supports separate workflows within the same repository, so you can choose between the Plastic and Gluon interfaces. Plastic is designed for programmers, while Gluon is intended for artists. This choice is not permanent, and you can switch between the two interfaces in the top-right menu of the client.
After selecting your preferred interface, sign in or sign up for an account. It is recommended to use a Unity ID, even if you won't be using Unity as your game engine. If you have no organizations associated with your account, you will be asked to create one.
Now, you can select the type of workspace you prefer. The Plastic workspace is distributed and designed for programmers, while the Gluon workspace is centralized and intended for artists.
If you wish to link your project to an existing repository, click on the ellipsis next to the Repository Name field. This will allow you to choose from your existing Unity repositories on Plastic SCM.
Once you've chosen or created a repository, you can proceed to invite team members to your workspace. Click on the Options menu (gear icon) in the Version Control tab, then select "Invite Members to Workspace." You will be directed to the Unity Version Control cloud dashboard, where you can add new users, resend invitations, and set permissions.
After setting up your workspace and inviting team members, you can start utilizing the Pending Changes tab to view and manage changes made to your local version of the project before publishing them. It is recommended to perform an initial check-in with the files under the Pending Changes tab as they may contain important configuration settings or folders.
You can also customize the information displayed in the Plastic SCM tabs by right-clicking on the columns and selecting the relevant options from the menu.
