# Using Version Control

When using version control, it is recommended to set a different folder location for the runtime **DataLibrary** and ensure this folder is ignored by version control.

## Setting a Different Folder for the Runtime DataLibrary

1. Open **Save Settings**.
2. Under the **Runtime DataLibrary** section, click **Set Different Runtime DataLibrary Location**.
3. Select a folder that is ignored by version control.

Additionally, it is recommended to enable the **Custom DataObjects Folder** in the settings. This will unparent all DataObjects from the initial DataLibrary.\
