Step 3. Set up a remote repository - Set up a content management system with a development environment to create and test content before using it in a production environment. - Administrator Guide - 8 - Cortex XSOAR - Cortex - Security Operations

If you are changing your remote repository settings, back up existing content to your local computer by navigating to Settings & Info → Settings → System → Server Settings → Custom Content and click Export all custom content.

You must have Instance Administrator or Account Admin permission.

You must have a development tenant license.

Activate the development tenant. For more information, see step 8 in Activate Cortex XSOAR.

Built-in remote repository

When you activate a tenant and enable the content repository in Cortex Gateway, Cortex XSOAR by default uses the built-in repository. The built-in remote repository requires fewer configurations than using a private remote repository and cannot be accessed directly. If you want to use a private remote repository, you need to configure it when you enable the remote repository in the tenant.

For a simple one-branch deployment, we recommend using the built-in repository. If you want to use multiple branches, or if you need access to the content repository outside the Cortex XSOAR platform (for example to implement some scanners) you must use a private repository.

For more information, see Set up a built-in remote repository.

Private repository

If you want to use a private remote repository with one or more branches, you need to enable the remote repository in each tenant and then set up all branches in the remote repository configuration page in Cortex XSOAR.
