The Shared folder contents

The Shared folder has subfolders that contain files shared by multiple extensions, including functions for browsing a user's folder system, inserting a tree control, creating editable grids, and other features.

In addition to looking at the JavaScript files in the Shared folder, you should also search for HTML files in the Configuration folder that include these JavaScript files so that you can investigate how they are used.

Generally, you use the functions and resources in the Common and Adobe (MM) folders or add resources to the Common folder for use in new extensions. You should always look in the Shared/Common/Scripts folder first for utilities and functions. These functions and utilities are the most current and comprise the formal interface to the Shared folder. Use files in other folders at your own risk because they might be out of date.

Specifically, the Shared folder contains the following useful folders.
