What Is a Repository?

In Prismic, your repository stores all of the content for a project. It contains your project’s documents, media, environments, translations, and settings. Prismic hosts this content in the cloud for you, and you can edit it via the Prismic platform.

Prismic is priced by repository, starting at a fully functional free tier, with higher tiers for additional users and features. For more information, see our pricing page.

Accessing a repository#

You can view all of your repositories and create new ones in your dashboard:

Dashboard

Each repository has its own URL, with this format:

your-repo-name.prismic.io

To open your repo, navigate to this URL. If you’re not logged in, you will be prompted to do so.

Your Prismic repository is only accessible to Prismic users who have been invited to the repo. Learn more about user roles.
