Migrating Markups To Merge Markup Sets

Download Quick Guide

When multiple markup sets are used during the review process, a Migrate Markups project can be used to combine those markup sets into a single markup set to make production easier. Below, we will go through the steps and various scenarios that cover this workflow.

Creating and Running a Migrate Markups Project to merge into a new markup set

A migrate markup project can be used to merge markup sets into a new set for production. In the above example, we use two markup sets, A and B, and then run two projects to merge them into a new markup set used for production, markup set C. To do this follow, the steps below.

1. Navigate to Blackout | Projects
2. Click on Create New Project
3. Select Migrate Markups from the available options
4. Choose the saved search, markup set, and document identifier you wish to match on in your source. Then in the destination fields choose the same workspace as your current one, the markup set you wish to use for production, and the same document identifier as your source.
5. Click Create
6. Then click Run to execute the project

Repeat the above steps again for the second project except replace the Source Markup set with the second markup set you wish to merge into the production markup set.

Once the projects are completed, you will be able to review the results and see the number of markups placed as well as any warnings. Please see our section on Reviewing Migration Results for more details.
