The Librarian works with the files in his local working folder and when he needs latest copies, he checks out the refreshed files from the repository into his working folder. When the librarian makes changes to these files, they can be saved in this folder and then committed (pass changes) to the repository. Edit the field to change the working folder or press the browse button at the end of this field if you wish to change the default working folder directory.
