- Terminology
  Common terminology used with the HyperWorks collaboration features is described in this section.
- Contents and Content Definition
  Content refers to any information stored in a library. Content Definitions encapsulate information about the types of information managed by the HyperWorks libraries.
- Open the Organize Browser
  Use the Organize browser to organize your data and use it inside HyperWorks.
  - Repositories
    HyperWorks has one out-of-the-box repository, Personal (managed repository).
  - Libraries
    Libraries can be created within a repository to logically organize or group the contents stored within a repository. Repositories can contain one or more libraries.
  - Create a New Workspace
    A workspace is a local directory where files are retrieved from the vault so that they can be viewed and/or modified.
  - Folders and Categories
    Content inside a library can be organized by folders and categories.
  - Content Browser
    The Content Browser is the main component of the Organize browser and displays library content in many ways, according to options available from the toolbar.
  - Properties Panel
    The Properties panel shows metadata names and values for the selected object in the Content Browser.
  - Set Preferences
    Use the Content Browser to set your preferences.

    - Add Files and Folders to a Library
      By selecting individual or groups of files and/or folders, contents can be added to libraries in bulk.
  - Browse and Query Contents
- Open the Explore Dialog
  The Explore dialog provides enhanced capabilities for searching for and retrieving data, beyond what is provided from typical file browse dialogs.
- Add Subscribed Parts
  Use the Subscribe dialog to register or subscribe to parts or items of interest that reside within a corporate PDM system. Once the parts have been subscribed to, the dialog helps to ensure that you are working with the latest information by allowing you to quickly check whether any subscribed to parts have been updated, and to seamlessly retrieve updated information and files for those that have.
- Add MotionView Models into the Library
  MotionView supports a limited version of interface with HyperWorks Collaboration Tools.
- Material Library
  HyperWorks Collaboration Tools comes with an out-of-the-box profile, which is tailored specifically for organizing and managing material information and data.
