How do I Update My Local Manual With Changes From the Version on my ScreenSteps Live Account?

This lesson will teach you how to download changes to your manual from your ScreenSteps Live account. If you are collaboratively working on a manual as a team it is advised that you do this each time before you working on a manual. This will ensure that you have the latest content..

Open the Manual Inspector

Media_1290088221207

Select the manual you want to update (1) and open the inspector (2).

Select Your ScreenSteps Live Account

Select_your_screensteps_live_account

Select the Web tab (1) in the inspector. Select the ScreenSteps Live from which you wish to download changes (2).

Select Download Changes From Server

Select_download_changes_from_server

Select Next

Select_next

Currently only Automatic Syncing is available. What does this mean? Automatic Syncing merge the chapter structure between your local version and the version on ScreenSteps Live. You will still be able to determine how you want your actual lesson content to be updated.

Resolve Conflicts Screen

Resolve_conflicts_screen

1. If there are conflicts then a list of conflicts will appear.
2. Click the Show History link to view the history of edits for the selected lesson or chapter.
3. The Download Updates button will not be enabled until all conflicts have been resolved.

Tip - You can quickly accept all changes from the server by selecting Accept all server changes from Bulk Actions (4).

Resolve Conflict

Resolve_conflict

There are two types of conflicts:

• Content Conflicts: The actual lesson contents are different.
• Meta Data Conflicts: The tags or status setting a for a lesson are different.

This is an example of a meta data conflict. I can select to:
1. Keep the local version
2. Keep the ScreenSteps Live version

In this example I have decided to keep the server version.

Download Updates

Download_updates

Once all of the conflicts are resolved, click Download Updates. Your local manual will be updated.
