Adding a GPO to the repository
During installation, Active Administrator® creates the GPORepository folder, which is located in the Active Administrator folder. When you check in a GPO into the repository, a copy of the GPO is placed in this folder. All changes you make to the GPO are stored in this folder until you choose to publish the GPO or discard the changes.
NOTE: You also can select Group Policy | Group Policy Objects, select a Group Policy object, and select More | Add to Repository. See Managing Group Policy objects.To add a GPO to the repository

Modeling GPO changes
Active Administrator® provides increased levels of manageability by way of GPO modeling, which allows you to select a user and computer and view or report on the Group Policy objects that affect those accounts. To get an exact picture of how your actions will affect Group Policy application, you can perform several calculations of what if scenarios, including the addition or removal of these objects from OUs, sites, or security groups, which allows you to quickly view Group Policy object application and errors on remote computers. Recent calculations are automatically saved for easy retrieval at a later time.
