-====== Repository Option: No Distribution ======
+====== No Distribution ======
 The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''No Distribution'' automatically Confirms a [[object:volume|Volume]] destined for this [[object:repository|Repository]] when [[checkpoint:pick|Picked]].
+{{options:repository:tapemaster_repository_option_no_distribution.png}}
 ===== No Distribution Options =====
 The No Distribution Options are:
-  * ''True''
+  * ''True'': Confirm when picked.
-  * ''False''
+  * ''False'':Do not Confirm when picked.
+The No Distribution repository option removes the separate distribution/receipt stage for tapes moving to that repository.
+When set to True, picking a volume whose destination is this repository causes TapeTrack to confirm the movement automatically. The tape is therefore recorded as being in the destination repository without requiring a separate distribution or confirmation scan.
+Example:
+  * Tape is in OFFS.
+  * It is placed in a move to LIBR.
+  * LIBR has No Distribution = True.
+  * When the tape is picked from OFFS, TapeTrack confirms it into LIBR.
+  * No separate “distribute/confirm at LIBR” step is required.
+^ Setting	^ Result after picking ^
+|False	|Tape remains in transit until confirmed at the destination|
+|True	|Tape is confirmed into the destination immediately|
+Use it when the destination does not perform a separate receiving or distribution scan. Leave it False when you need proof that the tape physically arrived before TapeTrack records it at the destination.
+It does not prevent tapes from being distributed. Its name means “no separate distribution step required.”
