This article discusses the use of the Repository tab. 2. **Evidence** - this is where the evidence from frameworks will be created as a downloadable file once generated.  See this [article](https://knowledge.adoptech.co.uk/how-do-i-collate-evidence-for-my-audit?hsLang=en) for more details. #### Using the Repository tab The Home folder is created by default. It is possible to add additional folders in the Home directory to create a useful data structure for any documents you would like to upload. People with the **Admin** role permission have unrestricted access in the Data Room to see a full list of the company's folders and documents and be able to create/upload new ones and delete existing ones. They can share documents with non-admin users, who will only be able to see the documents shared with them. See our help article on [Editing role permissions](http://help.adoptech.co.uk/en/articles/6444936-editing-role-permissions) for more information on assigning Admin privileges. #### **Managing folders** It is possible to Rename, Move, Share or Delete folders via the Actions menu. **Adding a folder** 1. Either under the existing Home directory, or  within any created folder, under **Actions** select **New folder.** 2. Enter a name for your folder and click **Save**. #### **Managing documents** It is possible to Rename, Move, Share or Delete folders via the Actions menu. **Uploading a document** 1. Select **a folder** (Not the Home directory). 2. under **Actions** select **Upload** which will bring up your computer's file system to locate the file you want to upload. 3.
