Whether you are working with internal team members, or sharing design files with external vendors, maintaining all of your design data in a single place ensures consistency and accessibility.

22:14 8 Reasons to Store Your Components in Altium 365 Working with local libraries seems like a simple solution, but we often don’t take into account the added time spent maintaining libraries and sharing them between team members. There is no good way to avoid duplicate efforts with component creation and no standardization to ensure consistent naming. Worst of all, there is no way to identify the latest component revision, and library files can be easily corrupted or misplaced. This webinar Watch Video
