Consolidating Markup Files

The Consolidate option allows you to create a new Markup file that combines copies of selected layers of different Markup files. During the review cycle, consolidation simplifies document revisions by providing the author with one combined Markup file instead of several Markup files.

Note: The Consolidate option is only active when more than one Markup file is opened.

Open the Markup files that you want to consolidate.

From the Markup menu, select Consolidate.

The Consolidate Markups dialog box appears.

Select the markup layers that you want to consolidate into one file. To select multiple layers, press the Shift or Control key while selecting.

Note: To select all the layers click Select All, and to deselect all the layers click UnSelect All.

In the Output ID field, enter an ID for the new Markup file.

If you want to open the newly consolidated markup as the active markup, select the Open as Active Markup check box.

Click OK.

The consolidated Markup file is saved. If you selected Open as Active Markup, the consolidated markup opens and is set as the active markup.
