Updating a PDF text without losing Solos
When your text changes and you have a new PDF version, you need to be very careful if a Solo has already been assigned to the existing text.
Indeed, deleting a text also deletes the associated Solo, along with the access rights linked to that Solo, both for you and for everyone who benefits from it.
The goal is therefore simple: never delete the text that carries the Solos.
In this case, you have 2 options:
1. Apply the changes directly to the existing text
The safest method is to edit the text already stored in Imparato, the one that carries the Solos.
To do this, use the correction tool to apply the changes directly to the existing text, without affecting the Solo.
2. Upload the new PDF version, then copy its content into the correct text
You can also upload the new version of your text as a PDF. It will automatically be converted into Imparato format.
Then:
- open this new version;
- use the correction tool to copy the updated passages;
- paste these changes into the original text, that is, the one that already carries the Solos.
Once the transfer is complete, you can delete this newly uploaded version, so as not to confuse the other members of your group with a duplicate.
In short
If a Solo has already been assigned to a text, never delete that text.
Always work from it, either:
- by editing it directly;
- or by using a new PDF version as a source to copy from, then transferring the changes into the original text.
