 The SVN Design Repository and Create SVN Design Repository dialog

Summary

A design repository is a version control system that contains your team's design documents. The SVN Design Repository dialog allows you to edit the properties of a subversion-based design repository, which, in turn, allows you to manage revisions and version control.

Access

The SVN Design Repository dialog is accessed from the Data Management –  Design Repositories page of the Preference dialog in one of the following ways:

• Double-click on a repository.
• Select a repository then click the Properties button.

The Create SVN Design Repository dialog provides controls to create a new design repository and is accessed from the Data Management – Design Repositories page of the Preferences dialog by clicking an entry in the Create New drop-down.

Options/Controls

Use the available options to name your design repository and set the repository location. The dialog also allows you to view the repository's Workspace information.
