What to share#

A repository contains collections to be shared.

A collection is a set of resources that belong together.

Either because they can be used to create a coherent map design or do a specific task, or because they form a natural group.

The items that supported by the QGIS Resource Sharing plugin are (plugin version in parenthesis):

Item

Folder
