I am importing a project into FME Form that contains two automations, associated workspaces, and the repository for the workspaces. The repository for the workspaces already exists in the FME Form environment I'm importing into and it has other unrelated workspaces in it. The Preview Import page states that I will overwrite the exisiting repository during import. What, exactly, does "overwrite" mean? I only want to add the two new workspaces to the existing repository. Is that what happens? Or does the import process completely replace the repository, wiping out any existing workspaces and keeping just the two new ones? Something else? I'm trying to figure out if I should include the repository during import or not. I can't find any documentation that provides an answer. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

What happens with "overwrite repository" when importing a project into FME Form?

Hi @aaron,
Only workspaces that have the same file name within both the repository and the imported project will be overwritten (updated). Existing workspaces that don't share a file name will remain untouched
and any new workspaces in the imported project will be added to the repository. We do plan on updating the terminology used to "Update" instead of "Overwrite" in a future release to help clarify this.
Cheers,
Tim
