Team members must connect to and download a team project in order to create their own working copies of the project. Once they have a working copy, they can open and edit it each time they want to contribute to the project.
You can connect to a project in either a file system repository or in a Web repository. The project leader, or the person who starts the team project, should give team members the network path for the file system repository or the URL for the Web repository where the team project is located.
