Repositories are locations where templates are stored. They support the following types of templates:
Shared: Created and maintained centrally for users in the organization.
Bundled: Provided with the application.
User-defined: Created and maintained by you, in a location to which you have access.
Repositories and the templates they contain are implemented as directories and files. Therefore, your access to them is determined by your access to the underlying file system. Typically, shared and bundled repositories are locations that you can read but not write. A user-defined repository that you create must be located in a part of the file system to which you have write access as well as read access.
You can do the following operations with repositories:
You can work with repositories using a Repository pane in an Import Item or Export Item dialog box.
