Depending on your document’s status and the current task, you will have to take different steps to modify a document.
Note: You cannot make edits (such as text updates) to the actual file using annotation tools. You must upload a new file.
- Editing details while preparing a workflow for review
- Upload a new file while preparing for review
- Edit a document mid-review
- Modify a document after it’s approved
While in preparing
While a document is in draft, its properties may be edited by the Initiator of the workflow, the assigned Content Owner, selected Collaborators, and anyone in the organization with Coordinator permissions who also has access to view the document. The details screen will appear uneditable to you if you do not have one of these roles or if the document is not in draft.
Upload an updated file
- In the Viewer, click "Upload" in the bottom toolbar.
- To upload a file, drag the file into the Viewer upload area, or click within the dotted line.
- Your new document will display in the Viewer.
- Continue preparing the document for review.
Note: When replacing a file, annotations are retained at the same x,y coordinates as the prior file. If the document layout changed, they may need to be moved for accurate placement.
While in review
When a document is in review, the workflow Initiator, Content Owner, Collaborators, and Coordinators can withdraw and edit the document.
- Click on "More Actions" in the bottom right corner of the toolbar.
-
If you are the workflow Initiator, Content Owner, Collaborator, or Coordinator, you will see a menu option called Edit. Click "Edit."
- Provide a reason for the edits.
- Upload the edited file and/or edit the details and proceed with the workflow as you normally would.
The workflow will proceed as if the document received a vote outcome of Amend and Resubmit. In other words, the workflow will go through another circulation and the document’s minor version number will increase.
If a reviewer has already voted on a document that has been edited, they will have to vote again. To view the reason for the Edit, reference the audit trail or the task panel for the edited version.
Once approved
If you need to change anything about an approved document or its properties, you must start a new workflow (in some cases, a user with appropriate permissions may also change a document’s properties directly without review). To start a new workflow, navigate to the More Actions menu in the Viewer. The options available in the More Actions menu is configurable by customer, so you may see a variant of the options in the below screenshot.
- Open the document you want to edit in the Viewer.
- Click "More Actions" in the bottom right corner of the toolbar.
-
Click "Revision" or whichever workflow is appropriate for the changes you would like to make. The options may vary based on your permissions and the status of the document.
- Complete the required fields on the Start Workflow screen.
- Click "Save & Generate ID". Vodori will generate a document ID.
- Click "Continue".
- To upload a file, drag the file into the Viewer upload area, or click within the dotted line. If you only need to update properties, click "carry over the existing file".
- Your file will display in the Viewer. Instructions on how to prepare the document will appear in the task panel.
- Add annotations, substantiation, or supporting material as needed. You can also import annotations from the previous version.
- Click "Details" in the bottom toolbar and fill out the required fields.
- Once complete, click "Save and close details".
- Click "Continue" in the task panel to assign tasks to your team.
- Fill out all of the required fields on the Manage Assignees screen.
- Click "Start Review".
Your workflow will progress to the next task. Assignee(s) will be notified that a task has been assigned to them.
Note: If an approval workflow is already in review, you cannot start a new approval workflow without canceling the in-progress workflow, or waiting until the in-progress workflow is complete.
