What is Connect for Xpedition?

Connect for Xpedition is a cloud-hosted application that gives Xpedition users an easy way to collaborate on designs regardless of where project stakeholders are located. More specifically, the Connect application enables Xpedition's new Remote Collaboration capability empowering engineers to easily collect design review feedback from remote stakeholders. Design snapshots (also known as collaboration data) exported to Connect from either Xpedition Designer or Xpedition Layout can be shared with remote team members for design review. Reviewers can simply log into the Connect application using a browser to view the collaboration data and provide feedback using Connect's powerful view and markup capability and the collaboration panel.

Does Connect store my Xpedition design data?

No. The Export>Remote Collaboration command only exports collaboration data consisting of a viewable snapshot of your schematic or layout design. Your Xpedition design source data is still managed the same way you've always managed it and stays in your local environment.
