Repository Configuration for Visual Accessors

You must use a SFTP, FTP, or S3 repository if you are going to use visual accessors. Again, because Images are resource-consuming elements, at the disk, memory, and CPU level, using an S3 repository will yield the best performance. The images will be saved with the script in your S3 repository which simplifies image management.

Appvance does not recommend using Git to store your images if your are using the Visual Accessor functionality. This is due to Git not being designed to handle large amounts of binary files efficiently.

To select configure your repository type, navigate to Global Options > Preferences > Repository.
