# Revision Control

## Repositories

Repositories are used in Allspice to manage hardware designs over time using version control.

They provide a shared place for your team to store design files, track changes, and run structured design reviews as your project evolves. Repositories are typically used once teams move beyond quick, one off reviews and into ongoing development.

If you are new to Allspice, you do not need repositories to get started. You can upload and review designs using Quick Review without any setup. Repositories are introduced later as teams scale their workflows.

## What you can do with repositories

Using repositories in Allspice allows teams to:

- Track design changes across revisions
- Compare updates using visual diffs
- Run structured design reviews
- Automate checks with Automations
- Integrate Git based workflows into hardware development

Repositories are most useful for teams managing active projects with multiple iterations.

## When to use repositories

Repositories are typically introduced during the Platinum Hour, after you have completed your first design review and are ready to manage designs long term.

If you are looking for the fastest way to review a design, start with **Quickstart: Upload Your Designs for Review** instead.
