SVN Design Repository

The 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 can be accessed through the the Data Management –  Design Repositories page of the Preference dialog. In the Design Repositories page, open the SVM Design Repository dialog in either of the following ways:

• Double click on a repository.
• Highlight a repository and click the Properties button.

Options/Controls
