Hi there,

I currently use the raw repository as a repository for all possible file formats. Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to version this data in raw and to write a short description of it. Is there a way to do this in a raw repository via API? Or would another type of Nexus Repository be better suited for these use cases?

Thanks a lot!  
Thomas
