After you issue a spec package, its selections are locked so nothing changes by accident. This article shows how to edit, replace or remove selections in an issued Collection, and then export a revision that shows your contractor exactly what changed.
Edit a Locked Item
On the Products tab, open the item.
Click anywhere in the item. Gather asks Unlock this Selection? and reminds you that edits are tracked as revisions.
Select Unlock.
Make your change, for example the quantity.
Close the item. When Gather asks Leave this item unlocked?, select Lock.
Replace a Selection
Open the Collections tab and select your Collection.
Select the replace icon on the selection you want to swap.
Choose the new item and select Next.
(Optional) Add a note about why it changed.
Select Replace Selection.
Remove a Selection
In the Collection, select the X next to the selection.
In the Remove Selection? window, select Next, then confirm.
The selection stays in the list marked Removed, so there's a record of it.
Review Your Changes
Selections: shows each change since the package was issued, such as Removed, Revised on a date, Replaced with and Replaces.
History: lists every change by date.
Export a Revision
In the Collection, select Export a Revision and confirm.
Check the file name. Gather numbers it as the next version, for example
Lighting Package V2.Turn on Include Revisions List Page, Highlight Individual Revisions and Include Revisions Messages.
Select Export & Save.
The new version is saved on the Collection's Exports tab. The PDF opens with a list of revisions, and each change is highlighted on its spec sheet.
