When updates are available for DROPS modules, or when remotely installing a DROPS Agent on a target system, the necessary installers are available in the DROPS Server. New modules and updates to existing modules are downloaded to the DROPS Server automatically and stored in a repository at the path defined. Modules are managed in the DROPS Studio.

The location where the DROPS Agent is stored is pre-defined by default in the Update Repository Root Path in the Module Update Management view. To change this location, open the Module Update Management editor to set the new location of this repository.
