We have an Extension containing customized metadata in the SAP Repository, when the Extension is checked out it is moved to an Extensions Folder in the user's home drive. The question is how to include that Extension in a newly created Model? The extension is present in the Folder, however it isn't provided as a selection within the "New Conceptual Model" "Extensions" list of Extenstions.

Hi Michael,
Have you verified the info from PowerDesigner documentation?
Exporting an Embedded Extension File for Sharing: https://help.sap.com/viewer/31c48596e34446a68956e0aa7e700a2e/16.6.1/en-US/c7d011376e1b1014aec7b77592...
There is a KBA that may be helpful:

Jessica, thank you that makes sense, the video works for an individual within their Local Work Space / Object Browser Tab, however in the scope of an Enterprise-ready tool, we are looking for an outcome where the Extension is available to everyone that works within the SAP PowerDesigner Repository, hence the original question associated with checking in an extension. That said your post was an informative and helpful video.
Jessica, FYI the above KBA doesn't work for me in that when I click on a new Model containing a new Extension (and associated Extension name), the List of Extensions dialog shows the Extensions (i.e. *.xem files) that already exist within the folder. The workaround is to Open the new Extension within the Model and click the Save icon. Note that it's also necessary that the Extensions Folder path be correctly configured via the Tools>General Options>Named Paths for [XEM] and/or ensuring the same path is used when saving the Extension and Checking In the Extension. Good discussion.
