Summary

Is there a way to disable the response repository associated with the question library?

My client has only Sourcing at the moment and will be adding SQM in a later phase. For now, they are requesting that Response Repository be Disabled so that the suppliers do not get confused as to why their previous answers are showing up from their previous bid. Is this something that we can disable?

Ideal situation would be that the Category Manager publishes negotiations that use a template with questions from Question Library in the Requirement train stop and then the Supplier woud not see their previous responses while responding in their Supplier Portal.
