You can publish your form designs to a shared or web folder where many users or other applications can access them. If a form design contains links to external files, the links are modified to reflect the new location of the file. You need write access to the folders to which you publish. Your network administrator can set up the permissions you require.
If you are using Designer ES outside of Workbench ES and want to use resources, such as images and fragments, that reside in the repository, you can set up a web folder on your file system and map it to the location in the repository. When you publish the form, links to the resources are maintained. You use the Publish to Repository command to copy the files into the repository. See To publish a form to a repository.
Alternatively, you can create the form design on your file system. When you complete the form design, you can drag and drop the folder and any sub-folders into the appropriate folder in the Workbench ES Resources view.
You need access to LiveCycle ES to read and write files in the repository. Your network administrator can set up the permissions your require.
