Updating a PDF text without losing Solos

Damien

Has your text changed and you have a new PDF version? You can now replace the existing text with this new PDF and keep everything attached to it: roles, settings, Solos, notes, and bookmarks.

⚠️ Don't delete the old text to create a new one. Deleting a text also deletes its associated Solos, as well as the access linked to those Solos.

From the mobile app: use a computer

For now, you can't upload a new version of a text from the mobile app. Log in to the Imparato website on a computer and follow the steps below. Once updated, the latest text will also be available in the app.

Upload a new PDF version (on a computer)

  1. On the Imparato website, click Create in the top right, then Create a text.
  2. Choose I have a PDF file.
  3. For the question "This PDF is...", select A new version of an existing text.
  4. In "Which text should be replaced?", search for the text to update by its title or author.
  5. In PDF File, drag your file or click select a file. The PDF must contain selectable text (a scanned document won't work).
  6. Click Update text.

The text will then be replaced by the content of the new PDF. Roles, settings, Solos, notes, and bookmarks stay in place.

⚠️ Updating more than 6 months after purchasing the Solo

If you update the text more than 6 months after buying the Solo and the changes affect more than 10% of the text, you may lose the Solo. For more details, check the terms and conditions.

After 6 months, if you have significant changes, check the extent of the modifications before uploading the new version.

Can't find your text in the list?

Only texts appear that:

  • you are an administrator for;
  • are not already being edited or processed.

If the text belongs to a company, ask a company administrator to do the update.

Minor corrections

If only a few lines change, you can also fix them directly in the existing text using the correction tool, without uploading a new PDF.

Summary

  • For a new version, use a computer: Create › Create a text › I have a PDF file › A new version of an existing text.
  • Never delete a text that has Solos.
  • If the Solo was purchased more than 6 months ago, you risk losing it if you change more than 10% of the text (see the T&Cs).

For now, you can't upload a new version of a text from the app.

On a computer, log in to www.imparato.io with the same account, then follow the steps below. Once the update is done, the updated text will also appear in the app, with its roles, settings, Solos, notes, and bookmarks.

In the meantime, don't delete the text from the app to recreate it: you would lose the associated Solos.
