+## Preliminaries
+
+In this guide, we use the [Incidents Management reference sample app](https://github.com/cap-js/incidents-app) as the base to add change tracking to. Clone the repository and apply the step-by-step instructions:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/cap-js/incidents-app
+cd incidents-app
+npm i
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, you can clone the incidents app including the prepared enhancements for change-tracking:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/cap-js/calesi
+cd calesi
+npm i
+```
+
+```sh
+cds w samples/change-tracking

Following the [best practice of separation of concerns](https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/domain-modeling#separation-of-concerns), we do so in a separate file _srv/change-tracking.cds_:
