What is the difference between Enterprise and Workgroup modes?

Designer lets you save universes in either enterprise or workgroup mode. Enterprise mode means that you are working in an environment with a repository.

Workgroup mode means that you are working without a repository. The mode in which you save your universe determines whether other designers are able to access them.

By default, a universe is saved in the mode in which you are already working. For example, if you launched a session in enterprise mode, any universe you save is automatically in that mode.
