Web Designer work and deploy with solution project

Hi

 

I'm working with V7.1.1 and for the Web Designer we always used Database projects.

Since a file based solution has some big advantages (source control) I take a look at the "solution project".

 

I saw, that it is possible to import/export solution projects in the webdesigner. What I'm not sure is, wo I have to transport the "solution project" from one stage to the other.

Do I have to import it in DEV into Database and transport it via normal Transportpakages? Do I have to import the files in each stage manually in the WebDesigner?

Or is there a way to automate the import of the new files from the solution project in each stage?

    If possible, I want to use the solution project, since I like to have files in version control and have to possibility to do branching.
    And I want to have a deployment from stage to stage without manual intervention.

    Do I understand that correctly:
    If I want to bring the solution project from DEV to TEST to PROD I have options:
    1. Import into database, create a Transportpackage
    2. Open the solution project in each stage in WebDesigner and publish it.
    3. Open the database project in each stage in WebDesinger and import a selection of xml files from the solution project.

    Option 1 would have the drawback, that the files in the solution could be different to the object in the db.
    Option 2 and 3 would mean manual intervention in the deployment process, which we want to avoid at all.

    To be honest: I don't really understand by now how the solution project really works. The documentation explains the most obvious steps in detail, but I don't see the concept behind.
