If you have changed the contents of the Pattern Registry using the Pattern Organizer (created new shortcuts, exported or created shared folders), these changes are synchronized with the Registry automatically. When you close the Pattern Organizer, you are prompted to save changes. Each time you start UML modeling, the contents of the available storage is scanned for patterns. The contents of the registry is synchronized with the actual availability of the pattern folders. If you have made changes to the patterns outside the Organizer, these changes will be synchronized when UML modeling is started.

1. In the Pattern Organizer click Close button. The dialog window opens prompting you to save changes in the pattern registry.
2. Click Yes to confirm.
   Tip: Alternatively, open the Pattern Registry
   dialog, and click Synchronize.
