Hi Valerie, In my experience we tend to take the files that we modify for a specific project and put them into version control. This includes any config files that we needed to change, code changes, and various other things (PGE templates, etc.). Often times we replicate the component structure to make our lives easier. So if the config for the resource manager is in /resmgr/policy we would have a /resmgr/policy folder in our project VCS and put the modified config there.
