Usually, repositories are separated from recording modules. This separation has many advantages, easy re-use of repository items in different recording modules being just one of them.
However, there are cases when you may want to embed a repository in a recording module. Embedding is useful when you want to send someone else a recording you’ve made. Without it, you’d have to send both the recording and the repository separately. The standalone Ranorex Recorder also always creates recordings with embedded repositories for this reason.
