If you click on “Repository,” you’ll see a complete list of all the items you have published in the repository, plus any unpublished drafts you’ve started working on. Essentially, the repository is a working space that keeps track of all your current publishing activities. Titles appear in the left-hand column, followed by the date each item was created, the version number, and the publication status.

By contrast, if you go to “Contributions,” you will see only the items from your personal repository that have been published and can be viewed by others; you won’t see any drafts still in progress. If you click on the title of one of your contributions, it’ll take you to the landing page for that publication in the Commons’ general repository.

When you look at the profile pages for other members of the Canadian HSS Commons, you can click on their Contributions page and see what they’ve published or co-published.

Note: After you’ve clicked on someone’s name to view their profile, you’ll see a “Contributions” link in the menu on the left, but not a “Repository” link (since that includes drafts and is, therefore, something you can access only for your own account).
