If you’re collaborating with other content creators on the module before you’re ready to publish it, [download the module’s backpack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_download_content_from_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can download the backpack ZIP file for a module or trail that’s in your Trailmaker Content workspace. Then, you can submit the backpack to your company’s version control system (VCS) so that other users can import the backpack into their own local Trailmaker Content workspace."), and submit it to your company’s version control system (VCS). Then, delete the module from your local workspace. When your collaborator is finished, you can [import the most recent version of the module’s backpack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_upload_published_or_archived_content_to_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can add learning content into your workspace from a backpack ZIP file that you saved or downloaded.

If you’re ready, a user with the Manage Releases permission can [add the module to an unpublished release](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.mth_add_content_to_release_from_tm_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After you create your module and quizzes and assign all the necessary metadata, add the content to a release.").
