In a large archimate model parts of the model are changed regularly. Does anyone have a practical solution to determine / register the date/time of the last modification of individual elements and views in the model?
Not practically possible as it stands. The whole file is saved as one with a timestamp, and that's the only way to check when the whole file changed.
You could use the model repository collaboration plug-in and make regular commits with comments. This would timestamp each commit.

Thanks Phil
Is the collaboration already stable/suitable for use?
There's more to do on the collaboration plug-in but folks seem to be using it in production. If you're OK with git-like workflow you follow the rules (set up repo first, handle any merge conflicts) it just works.

Hi,
Alternatively, you may have a look on the database plugin which allows you to store your models in a relational database. Usingthis plugin, you may also export your models in a graph database (Neo4J for instance) for analysis purpose.
