VMware vSphere 7 Template Versioning

In VMware vSphere 7, admins can now manage VM templates in a more efficient and flexible manner. Quickly edit VM templates by checking them out, making necessary changes, and checking them in.
In this video I have shown how Template Versioning works from storage perspective.

What is Check-In/Check-Out?
Before vSphere 7, when an administrator needed to perform maintenance on a VM Template (vmtx), the process was quite manual and included multiple steps. An example of those tasks:
Convert the VM template back to a VM
Snapshot the VM, if rollback needed
Update the guest OS or other VM object settings
Convert the VM back to a VM template
Copy the VM template back to Content Library
Delete the old VM template(s) from Content Library

With the introduction of Check-In and Check-Out operations for updating virtual machine templates, when a VM template is stored in Content Library, Check-In and Check-Out actions, as well as template versioning, are available to allow an Administrator to quickly make changes and keep track of VM Template versions. It is no longer necessary to perform the mentioned manual steps for editing the VM template as the process has been included in the new workflows. During this process, the VM template is not available for checkout from other users but will be available to deploy a virtual machine from the VM template without disruption.
