Management of direct models typically involves managing saving and sharing permissions, opening and editing the model, and reprocessing the model.
Opening and Editing Direct Models
Direct Model files are stored in the content manager, where they can be shared with others and opened for editing and reprocessing.
When editing a direct model, you can make changes to the semantic model and to the security permissions. To edit an existing data model you must access its definition file, which will be opened in the Model Pro module.

Saving Direct Models
When a model is built using Smart Model, Direct Model, or Model Lite, it is automatically saved. Its materialized assets, the database and the data model, are generated and stored on the specified server and the model definition file is saved to your My Content folder.

Rerunning Direct Models
If you make changes to the semantic model (like editing measures or renaming a table) or to the security permissions, you'll need to reprocess the model for these changes to be reflected in the materialized model.
