Synchronize with Metadata Repositories

Colectica Designer allows you to synchronize your work with Colectica Repository. This allows you to collaborate with multiple people while working on the same project. Colectica automatically takes care of tracking versions and helps you resolve conflicts.

Colectica Designer can be configured to work with one or more repositories, allowing the integration of items from multiple sources. This enables metadata from existing studies to be reused in new studies, even if they are from other organizations.

When working with a repository, the main unit being managed is referred to as a checkout. While this managed item will usually be a Project or a Study, it can actually be any type you would like.

Checkouts can be synchronized with the server. You can update a checkout to pull any changes made by other users, or you can perform a full synchronization to submit your own changes to the repository.

A specific version of a checkout can be tagged with a user-defined state. Tags can be used to implement organizational workflows or business process models.

Examples of states might include Development, Test, or Production.
