Versioning a selected area

I saw at resources center that we can register a dataset, feature or table as version with the option to move edits to base.
However, my team needs to edit the same feature class, a very large feature that includes the whole State River Basin.
Is it possible to version just some part of this base, considering small watersheds, selected by area for example?
Thanks!

"Versioning" is the name of the Esri optimistic locking editing model -- It covers all features of
all tables that have been versioned. See the documentation or Versioning 101 for details.

If the "Move Edits to Base" is going to cause conflicts you'll need to use a different workflow.

Thanks Vince!

After registering some data as version, may the editor request just part of the feature class to add to his ArcMap?
Not because of the conflicts but because the feature is to large, it covers 250.000 square kilometers with 650.000 registers, and each person needs to edit small areas.

Thank you, Andressa

Again, this question does not apply to versioning. There are many ways to implement
this, from scale dependency to attribute constraints to spatial constraints to checkout/
check-in replication. Without understanding the options, you cannot make an informed
choice in light of the associated costs, but I can't present those options here in the space
and time available.

Andressa: look into Esri Workflow Manager. As VA mentioned, versioning is not a task management tool. Versioning facilitates multiuser editing, replication, etc., by allowing the database to discover conflicts. Workflow Manager helps divvy work up between multiple users or groups. If WM is not an option for you, constraining the records in the editor's mxd by using definition queries and layer files may prove useful.
