4. What is a Repository?
A repository represents a collection of commands or workflows. This repository then can be added to BPMN Editor app, thereby the app will be able to fetch all the commands from the repository and will make them available to use in the editor field. Workflows can be downloaded and uploaded from/to the repository, allowing to share them with colleagues or online.
