Accessing and navigating the Repository Manager

The repository stores adapters and workflow modules in a central location. Workflow developers, software testers, and system administrators use the repository a source of record. Using the repository also enforces versioning and keeps a history of workflow modules through their revisions. It also offers role-based access control to ensure that users can access only those features for which permissions are provided. 

Using the Repository Manager – the user interface for the repository, one can upload, download, or transfer content.
