Solution Collection Repositories
On the Solution Collection Repositories page, administrators can create, modify and remove solution collection repositories.
The solution collections you find when adding resources in a project are sourced from these solution collection repositories. Here, you will be able to view all repositories and you can add in any repositories needed to source your solution collections.
