Sharing Common Settings

Read time: 2 minute(s)

It makes sense to share various common editing settings when working on a common Git project:

Spell check dictionaries and learned words.
Checking Terminology.
Actions and behaviors for editing content.
Custom validation and quick fixes.
Publishing templates.

There are various ways to share these custom editing settings between the people who collaborate on the same Git projects:

Use a web editing tool to edit the Git content directly in a web browser with all settings being common in the tool. Example: Oxygen XML Web Author Git connector.
Manually share a common set of settings.
Share the common settings directly in the Git project. Example: DITA Startup Project. When an Oxygen project that contains settings is distributed in a Git project, writers automatically get the latest updates to the Oxygen environment without any work on their part.
