Hi Jeff,
The Repository Setting for the location of the DM document data is just a way for you to set a sensible default e.g. ‘New Documents’. It’s so that, if you use all the defaults, eaDocX knows where in your repository to save the DM data.
I generally create all the first versions of my documents in the default location, then move them to other Packages.
I suggest having personal Packages, for each users’ work-in-progress documents, and ‘ready for review’ and ‘final’ Packages as well, and repeat these per-project for multi-project repositories. Moving the eaDocX Document element around does affect how eaDocX DM works: all versions of that document will be creates as children of that element, wherever you’ve put it.
So really, organise your eaDocX DM Packages however you want!
