The vast majority of Digital Asset Management (DAM) software does not, however, support the concept of branching.<\/p>\n<p>Evolphin Zoom, on the other hand, provides a unique feature called Smart Copy. This allows users to easily make duplicates of existing assets based on any of the versions of an assets, as well as smart copies of groups of assets, entire folders or entire projects. \u00a0Smart Copy will allow you to develop multiple assets in parallel, easily create new assets from existing versions of assets or efficiently clone an existing project.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Copy also takes advantage of the Zoom deduplication technology. \u00a0This allows you to save a Smart Copy of an asset (or group of assets) without duplicating the storage requirements. The copied file will take up 0 bytes until it is versioned itself. Any new versions will only need the space needed for the deltas (changed bits) between the new version and the original. For more information on deduplication, please see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolphin.com\/technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.evolphin.com\/technology<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The net result is a more efficient development process, less work overall for the creative team and smaller storage requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Software developers frequently use a technique called \u201cbranching\u201d that enables them to create copies of existing software code.
