TFS Workspaces
In order to use TFS to provide version control of the packages in a model, you need to prepare a functional TFS workspace that can be accessed through an Enterprise Architect version control configuration within that model. You use the TFS workspace to map a local working folder on your PC to a Source Control Folder within a TFS project repository.
It is assumed that a Team Project that you can use to control your Enterprise Architect package files already exists. You create the TFS workspace through MS Visual Studio.
