ClearCase's novelty was in its versioned file system (called MVFS: '''M'''ulti'''v'''ersion '''F'''ile '''S'''ystem), which can be mounted as a virtual file system through a ''dynamic view'', selecting a consistent set of versions and allowing for the production of [[Derived Object|derived objects]]. The dynamic view allows thusthis to map to a [[Software Configuration]]. This was a departure from the ''repository''/''sandbox'' model, allowing for the early management of artifacts (before they are being checked in, and not limited to these first order configuration items).
 
ClearCase also supports ''snapshot views'' which are just copies of a directory tree spanning one or several VOBs. These can be used while disconnected from the network and later resynchronized to the VOB when a connection is reestablished.
