Depending on what type of repository you choose at startup, Snow Owl can operate in either standalone or collaborative mode.
By default, it starts up as a standalone application and uses an embedded repository.
You can review and change this setting by clicking on the Repository button on the login screen.
Repository | Description |
Embedded repository | Select this option if you want to use Snow Owl as a standalone application, without collaborating with others. You can use all editing functionalities, but your changes will only be stored on your computer. This is the default setting. |
Remote repository | Select this option if you want to be able to submit your changes to and receive other users' changes from a central terminology repository. Enter the network address of the remote repository in the text field to the right. |
