Julien,

Thank you for the link. It provides partial clarification. I have a few
questions to get a full understanding of the underlying mechanics.

It says: "If you edit biblio.odb in "base" you will really just be changing
your local
data store."

What is meant by 'local store'?

I've have mostly used "tools->bibliography database and edit your local one
through that UI". In the past I also used "base" when I ran into Bibliography
update issues and thought there was a bug.

What is the full path for extras/source/database/ and
extras/source/database/biblio.odb?

Why is copying needed in a completely different directory?

It seems to me that there is a lot of complexity here. Is this documented in
any of the User Guides. Is there an effort planned to reduce this complexity?
Regular users like me will not be able to figure this out.
