Can you expound upon how the unique identifiers are used and how the central repo works?

It is REALLY nothing exciting or novel, sorry to disappoint.

I got tired of finding documents with a figure we needed somewhere else and hunting for 15 minutes for the source material.

We number the figures PRJ-FIG_0001 and have the source files in a top level shared folder (or svn/git). Note it’s important to have the figure id in the figure itself as well as the file name so when it’s imported into a doc the ID is embedded in the figure itself.
