Configuring Exclusions Using the Exclusions Editor
The Exclusions Editor allows you to configure three types of exclusions: Repackaging, Project, and OS Snapshot.
Repackaging Exclusions
Repackaging exclusions refer to exclusions made during repackage time using the Repackaging Wizard. Any files,

if you exclude a directory you later need, you need to repackage the legacy setup again.
The Repackager best practice is to capture everything using the Repackaging Wizard, and then exclude visually in
the Repackager Interface. This way, you avoid having to run the Repackaging Wizard again if you accidentally
exclude necessary files.
