As changes are made to the schematic and layout, they can be synchronized through forward and backward annotation files accessed through shared 3DEXPERIENCE workspace folders. This enables better control of electrical design data and flexible configuration management, and organizations and users are able to easily maintain multiple revision trees of designs. When a schematic design is changed and checked back into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the layout designer is immediately notified that changes have been made to the design. I have created a playlist on YouTube with a series of getting started videos on how to design a simple practice board with Altium Designer.The collaboration workflow of an Altium design and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can be seen below.
