Re: [Avid-L2] Duplicate sequence question

Interplay will track versions of your sequence. Every check-in creates
a snapshot, and you can see your sequence history in Access. This
version history is global - another editor can easily take your
sequence and change it. Those changes will be applied to your sequence
if you right-click in the bin and select "Update from Interplay".

This workflow is different from what most editors are used to. You can
certainly Duplicate sequences and you still have the Attic to fall
back on, in case of disaster.
