LabVIEW does not have built-in version control, but we can use 3rd party software to realize version control in LabVIEW.

First, use menu Tools>>Source Control>>Configure Source Control to config the 3rd party source control software to integrate into LabVIEW, as in the following picture:

Then, in the popup dialog, we can select which version control software to be used in LabVIEW. As following picture:

All the installed version control software which support LabVIEW will be automatically populated in the drop down list, you can choose the one you want to use with LabVIEW.

And, there are a few options which recommended to check, as in the following picture:

Is is recommended to enable “Include hierarchy when adding files” and “Exclude vi.lib” options.

Then you can use version control in LabVIEW. For further assistant you can search the NI’s official site or Google on the web.

Should note that you need LabVIEW Professional to enable source control.
