Learn how to collaborate in Unreal Engine (along with some great best practices) in this clip from course 5 of Perforce U. The majority of the assets used by the Unreal Engine Editor are binary format. Because binary files cannot be merged in the same way that text files can, teams who need to collaborate in Unreal Engine face extra challenges for source control. Course 5, “Merging and Collaborating with Unreal Engine,” also covers getting started with Unreal Engine Multi-User Editor (Unreal MUE), how to resolve merge conflicts between streams in Perforce Helix Core, and more.
