Collaboration Using Creo Packages
Creo Packages supports a read-only collaboration methodology for sharing any Creo Parametric data in two or more PLM systems. This enables the exchange of Creo Parametric designs data between source and target PLM systems without compromising your PLM content management system.
Collaboration also occurs when the owner of the original object wants to relinquish ownership of that object to a new owner. This collaboration can occur between PLM systems or within the same PLM system. During the ownership transfer process, the original owner relinquishes ownership of Creo Parametric data to the new owner, which becomes recognized as the new owner PLM system for that data.

Presence of Private Checkout copy does not impact Creo packages import. If the user wants to use Privately modified CAD content copy into the Collaboration, user should have ownership of the same to proceed with Regular Checkout and merge the content.
