Tool sets that are shared are generally exported from somebody else's copy of Revu. Use import when the tool set will be used only by the local user, or if you do not want local changes to sync with other users' copies. Importing the tool set will make a copy of the tool set and store it in your default location.
Add a tool set when you want to share a tool set on a network drive and keep all user's versions of that set the same. Adding will list the tool set while leaving the tool set's file in its original location.The difference depends on whether you need to access a shared resource or you just want to put a copy of somebody else's tool set in your Tool Chest: There are two ways to use shared tool sets: by adding them to your Tool Chest or by importing them to your Tool Chest.
