# DVCS and setting up the server

Before you start to work with the P4 distributed versioning control system (DVCS), learn about its architecture. See P4 for Distributed Versioning Documentation.

The DVCS functionality of P4V allows users to create personal servers and submit changes locally without the need to connect or set up a remote server. If the user wishes to clone, fetch or push assets from a remote server, that server must be set up to accept DVCS commands.
